Iran’s State Media Admit Intelligence Ministry Is Presenting its Agents as MEK Ex-members or Critics
The Iranian regime is engulfed with domestic and international crises. It faces a restive society, the coronavirus outbreak, and international isolation. In such circumstances and due to a long history of the struggle for democracy and freedom, Iranian youth are approaching and joining the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). The state-run media constantly whine about the MEK’s popularity in Iranian society particularly among the youth. On May 17, in a video conference with a group of handpicked Basij mercenaries posing as students, the regime’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, expressed his fear over the surge in popular uprisings and protests and the increasing support for the MEK.

“The Iranian people demand the overthrow of the Iranian regime”: MEK Resistance Units
celebrated on Sunday May 31, the death of founder of the mullahs’ regime Ruhollah Khomeini. In the final phase of the Iran-Iraq war, Khomeini who felt that defeat was imminent, decided to take his revenge on the political prisoners. He issued fatwas (religious decrees) ordering the execution of anyone who had not “repented” and who was not willing to collaborate entirely with the regime. Khomeini decreed: “Whoever at any stage continues to belong to the Monafeqin (the regime’s derogatory term to describe the PMOI/MEK) must be executed. Annihilate the enemies of Islam immediately.” He went on to add: “Those who are in prisons throughout the country and remain steadfast in their support for the MEK/PMOI are waging war on God and are condemned to execution… It is naive to show mercy to those who wage war on God.”
The Resistance Units bravely took to graffiti in public places with the slogan “Our struggle against Khomeini was to establish freedom and social justice,” “The Iranian people demand the overthrow of the Iranian regime in its entirety,” and
“Down with the principle of the Supreme Leader’s rule.”
