The next administration would be wise to be wary of pro-regime lobbyists and media that spread disinformation about Iran and its opposition, NCRI and (PMOI / MEK Iran). Most of these groups use the same talking points when describing the MEK and Iranian Resistance, so they are easy to identify.

U.S. News and World Report published an article last week on their website about the importance of U.S policy toward Iran. U.S. News offered a non-partisan list of recommendations for the next president to follow in crafting an effective policy in dealing with the Iranian regime. The article emphasized that such a plan is essential for tackling the long-ranging security challenges posed by the regime.

Along with these incidents, there have been prolonged misinformation campaigns by the regime against the (PMOI / MEK Iran), as well as foiled terrorist attacks on Ashraf-3. Several Iranian diplomats have been told to leave Albania.

The Interior Ministry of Albania took the responsibility for expelling Ehsan Bidi, an Iranian regime agent on October 17th. He was arrested and taken to a detention center and will not be released until another country is prepared to take him. Bidi was caught spying for the Iranian regime on the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran), in Albania.

Mullah’s regime tries to keep themselves in power by demonizing the (PMOI / MEK Iran), through persistent campaigns. One of the worst things it has been doing is getting people into Albania who pretends to be relatives of the MEK, when in fact they are terrorists.

Ashraf-3 in Albania resident, Vahid Reza Dolatshahi, is a member of the Iranian resistance which fights for freedom and democracy in Iran, led by the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran). He reveals how over the last 4 decades the regime in Iran has tried to eliminate the MEK and in total 120,000 of its supporters have lost their lives for what they believe.

This is not the first agent that has been sent by the Iranian regime to spy on the opposition and it is unlikely to be the last. The regime’s brazen activity in Europe, especially in Albania where a large number of members of the (PMOI / MEK Iran) reside, is shocking, but not surprising.

A few days ago, authorities in Albania announced that an agent of the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) was arrested for spying on members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran) – the main opposition to the Iranian regime.

To counter the growing influence and attraction of the (PMOI / MEK Iran), within and outside of Iran, the regime has set up a sophisticated network of lobbies that operate in the West.

The Iranian regime is assiduously aware of the existence of the opposition movement, especially the most important component of it, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran).

Throughout the decades of rule by the theocratic regime, it hasn’t stopped demonizing what the MEK stands for and that is freedom and democracy in Iran and not oppression and terrorism so often used by the regime to terrorize its citizens.

The Iranian regime continues to pursue its demonization campaign against the main Iranian opposition organization, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK), by releasing books that do not speak the truth.

Even though there is no direct evidence of what words have been used by the regime to discredit the MEK, it is clear that more recently there has been growing support for the NCRI and (PMOI / MEK Iran), as a democratic alternative to the Mullah’s despotic regime.

Twitter has erased about 130 Twitter accounts that seemed to have originated from somewhere in Iran. They contained information allegedly that was trying to intervene into tweets about the coming presidential election debates in the U.S. Twitter realized that the owners of the Twitter accounts have knowingly been using the social media platform to peddle the regime’s beliefs, much of which is disinformation.

Khomeini, after the 1979 revolution, was seeking to establish his religious empire and pursued a policy of eliminating all of his political rivals, and the resistance force of the MEK, at any cost. In order to cover up and distract from the repression and civil war that Khomeini was instigating in Iran, he sought to initiate a foreign conflict.

The end of September marks the anniversary of the bloody Iran-Iraq war which began on 22 September 1980 when Iran was invaded by Iraq, at the instigation of Iran.

Finally, on February 27, 2012, the MEK took the unprecedented step of filing a writ of mandamus, a court order which compelled the State Department to execute its duties under the law.

Monday, September 28, marked the anniversary of the People’s Mojahedin Organization  (PMOI / MEK Iran) and National Council of Resistance of Iran’s (NCRI) 2012 removal from the U.S. Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) list.

In their letter, the (PMOI / MEK Iran) members informed the High Commissioner that the Iranian regime uses the BBC Persian Service to put pressure on the opposition and their families.

In a letter to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, 123 members of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran), also former prisoners of war, drew attention to their situation.
