MEK Respond to Slurs From Shah’s SonJubin Katiraie Blog 22 June 2018


By Jubin Katiraie
The People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) have responded to a Bloomberg News Reza Pahlavi, the son of an Iranian dictator that was overthrown by the Iranian people, in which he told numerous lies about the MEK and displayed his hatred for democracy.
Shahin Gobadi, the spokesman for the MEK, wrote that the Iranian people’s continued fight for democracy has been pushed back by two dictatorships: the monarchy, to which Pahlavi belonged, and the current theocracy. There may be striking differences between the two, but both groups are united on a hostility towards democracy and a violent crackdown on those who advocated for it.
The Shah’s rule began in 1953, when the US and the UK conspired to overthrow Iran’s only democratic government. For 25 years, he ruled Iran through terror and suppression until the people of Iran overthrew him in 1979 and he fled the country.
Unfortunately, that revolution was hijacked by the mullahs and now, some 39 years later, the people are rising up en masse again against the government that suppresses them. This time, however, the MEK are ready to take power have a transitional government-in-waiting in France.Pahlavi claimed that if the Iranian people had to choose between the mullahs and the MEK, then they would choose the mullahs, but he doesn’t understand that the Iranian people have already chosen the MEK. The people of Iran support the MEK and the MEK are helping the Iranian people to rise up.

There is no way on earth that the Iranian people would choose to support the world’s leading executioner per capita and number one state sponsor of terrorism over the oldest, largest, and most popular democratic opposition group in Iran.

Gobadi wrote: “Reza Pahlavi does not represent anyone other than himself and his only credibility is being the offspring of a dictator. His claim only adds to the Iranian people’s loathing for the remnants of the Shah’s dictatorship. Thousands of political prisoners who bear the scars of horrific torture by the Shah’s secret police are still alive, as are the mothers of many of those executed by Shah.”

It is no secret that the Iranian Mullahs and what is left of the Shah’s Regime are scared of a democratic opposition, which is why Pahlavi parroted comments from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, President Hassan Rouhani, and the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Sanaei Rad, in his interview.

Both regimes have tried to destroy the MEK, but they have failed. The MEK has survived because of support from the Iranian people and even the Regime acknowledges that the MEK is its biggest threat.

The MEK's Religious BeliefsJubin Katiraie

The MEK's Religious BeliefsJubin Katiraie Blog 18 February 2018 The People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) is a political group dedicated to bringing freedom and democracy to Iran. They derive their political beliefs from a modern and tolerant version of Islam that is fully compatible with modern society – the exact opposite of the ruling mullahs’ Sharia Law, which is intolerant, extremist, genocidal, non-democratic, and misogynist – and the MEK believe that their interpretation is the true meaning of Islam. In 1982, MEK leader Massoud Rajavi, said: “The Islam we want is nationalistic, democratic, progressive, and not opposed to science or civilization. We believe there is no contradiction between modern science and true Islam, and we believe that in Islam there must be no compulsion or dictatorship.” This combination of tolerant religion and politics means that the MEK enjoys broad public support amongst the Iranian people and people all over the world, but it is...

European MP Ties to Islamic Republic of Iran Saturday

European MP Ties to Islamic Republic of Iran Saturday, 03 March 2018 08:29 Ana Gomes, MEP and Josef Weidenholzer By David N. Neumann After lashing out against opponents of the Islamic Republic of Iran in several parliamentary debates, a member of the European Parliament has admitted to doing the bidding of Tehran. In a meeting in Brussels, Portuguese socialist MEP Ana Gomes acknowledged that she had been instructed in Tehran to bash the Iranian opposition. “I met with relatives of the victims of a terrorist organisation called MEK,” she said on her visit to Tehran in a meeting of the European Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee on 22 February 2018. After making a number of allegations about the Iranian opposition movement PMOI or MEK, she added: “We cannot continue to allow some members of this parliament, possibly out of naiveté, to continue to abet some of the members of this organization.” Her claims are particularly surprising, given that competent European and American court...

The French Foreign Ministry even issued a statement ahead of the trip, which said Le Drian ...
