… The main question inside the MEK has now progressed from ‘where is Massoud Rajavi’ to ‘where is Massoud Rajavi, dead or alive?’ As time passes and both the Saudis and the MEK remain mum, the situation among the membership gets worse. This has now spread to the remaining members of the NCRI. Now that it has become open that the MEK were being paid by Saudi Arabia from the time of Saddam …
The commentary about Saudi relations with the MEK/MKO/PMOI has continued this week. The main themes are that this is nothing new and that it will not be a long-term thing and that ultimately Iran will gain, not Saudi Arabia. A short analysis by Behzad Alishah covers the points made by others about the three main players last week. He says: if I were Maryam Rajavi, I would beg the Saudis not to make me do whatever …
This last week marked the anniversary of the Forough-e Javidan (Eternal Light) or Mersad operation. Many memories have been written from both sides – from Iran and former MEK/MKO/PMOI members. But the theme of all of them is that after so many years it is now obvious that the MEK is not a military or even an ideological force.

Following the recent attack on Camp Liberty in Iraq, 103 formers and human rights activists and families wrote open letters of condemnation. Families in particular expressed worry about their loved ones. Fortunately this time there were no casualties. Nevertheless the concern is justified. All those writing have one thing in common. They are suspicious that this attack, like all the others, occurred at a time …
Massoud Rajavi has conducted talks with his commanders and told them ‘we need just under a thousand people in Camp Liberty and the rest can go. These are the 313 who will be resurrected with me’. This means that anyone asking to be transferred to Albania can be told ‘no, you are one of the chosen ones and cannot leave. The revolution can only start if you stay.’ [It is also an indication that Rajavi intends to use them as suicide soldiers. – Iran-Interlink]. Soroush …

Omid, a recent survivor of the MEK, sent an article to Iran Interlink on the occasion of 17 June and the self-immolations over Maryam Rajavi’s 2003 arrest in which two women died.
