Demonization Campaign Against MEK by Iran mullahs regime

The Iranian regime's desperate attempt to demonize the Iranian resistance, including the PMOI MEK or Mujahedin-e Khalq as well as the National Council of Resistance, has to be seen in the context of the regime's, increasing paranoia about the role and the impact and the effectiveness of the MEK in organizing and directing the anti-government protests that have erupted in Iran over the past year.
Indeed, the many regime's officials from Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader, to Hassan Rouhani and others, including commanders of the Revolutionary Guards, have acknowledged the role of the mek implementing the unrest within Iran. “Obviously the international community now is watching and seeing that the regime is on its last legs. So by trying to demonize the opposition, the regime is trying to put forward the narrative that there is no viable democratic popular alternative within Iran. And as such, real politic would dictate the continuation of the status quo, which is of course a policy of engaging and appeasing division in Iran. “There's no question that some of the slanders and allegations that have been directed at the resistance have been concocted in the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) whose officials have been caught in Europe for the direct involvement and direction of terrorist plots against the NCRI and the MEK. And in fact, if anything the regime's resort to such blatant violations of law in Europe and in the United States demonstrates the degree to which they are paranoid about the role and the impact of the MEK and the NCRI as a democratic viable opposition to the war.”

This is the full transcrip:
Hail to you my fellow compatriots, the friends of the Iranian Resistance and our dear guests,

You convey the cries of all Iranians against tyranny and dependence. You are the voice of all Iranians who call for the overthrow of the clerical regime and demand the establishment of a republic, based on democracy and separation of religion and state.

From here, we would send our warmest greetings to the protesters in Iran, to the freedom fighters of the resistance units, and the standard bearers of freedom all across the nation.

On the anniversary of the Iranian people’s anti-monarchic revolution, I pay tribute to all the trailblazers and leaders of that great revolution, particularly to Mohammad Hanifnejad, Saeid Mohsen and Ali Asghar Badizadegan, to Massoud Ahmadzadeh, Pouyan, Bijan Jazani, and Shokrollah Paknejad.

Today is February 8th. On the 37th anniversary of the martyrdom of Ashraf Rajavi, Moussa Khiabani and the Mojahedin who accompanied them in their heroic battle, we salute them. Their sacrifice guaranteed the resistance of the people of Iran against the mullahs’ anti-Iranian Caliphate.

With the overthrow of the Shah’s corrupt dictatorship and his regime of torture, his true successors, namely Khomeini and Khamenei, took over the helms. Our people faced a whirlpool of horror and darkness which they had to go through in order to achieve freedom.


Hail to the people of Iran who have paved most of this tortuous path with their uprisings and battles such as the one on June 20, 1981, the Eternal Light battles and the perseverance in Asharf.

Today, we are hopeful and we can see the signs of victory culminated in the uprisings and protests throughout the past year.

As Amnesty International attested, 7,000 persons were arrested last year for protesting against the regime. The number of those arrested is of course higher. Furthermore, the mullahs killed a number of protesters in custody and cast it as suicides. They tortured many of the detainees and cracked down on our Arab, Kurdish and Balochi compatriots, on workers, teachers, students and women and youth, and on other sectors of society who have stood up to the regime.

The Iranian nation sacrificed 120,000 of her children but did not give in. She never surrendered and the uprisings and revolts continued because this is an uprising until victory.

As Massoud Rajavi, the Leader of the Iranian Resistance, once said, “We can amass the flames and fires of the uprisings to make a volcano that could uproot and overthrow the regime. The real answer, the essential and true answer, has been and will continue to be in escalating the fights and revolts to the maximum, so much that the resistance units would improve and elevate to the National Liberation Army and pound the army of the anti-human enemy.”

Dear friends of the Iranian Resistance,
Our nation has started a new era, a new phase, in her battle to bring down the mullahs’ theocratic rule.

So, they expect the international community to respect their struggle and recognize their high goal of liberating Iran and the entire world from the evil and mischief of the mullahs’ religious fascism.

Western governments bear double responsibility in this regard because they have had a role in preserving this regime particularly in the past two decades.

The policy of appeasement offered countless opportunities for the survival of the regime, especially as through obstruction of the road to change in Iran by cracking down on the Iranian Resistance, blacklisting it, and restricting it.

It is exactly for this reason that the end to these crises also lies in recognition of the Iranian people’s right to resistance to topple the mullahs’ religious fascism and attain freedom.
Such recognition lies in the heart of the solution to the Iranian problem. This is the path to freedom in Iran, and the road to peace and tranquility in the region and the world.

Therefore, I would like to stress on the need to blacklist the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS) and the Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in the U.S. and European Union.

Now, our question to those who are still persisting in their worn-out policy of appeasement of the mullahs is, ‘why do you want to prolong the suffering of the people of Iran and other nations in the region? Is it not enough? Indeed, what does it take for you to learn your lessons from the mullahs’ savage terrorism in recent months in the heart of Europe and in the U.S.?

Stand up to the clerical regime and prevent their access to missile programs and any form of arms and equipment.

The Iranian people and Resistance do not want this regime to have any bullets, or sell any barrel of oil, or spend a single dollar of the Iranian nation’s wealth on suppression and terrorism.

The objective of the Iranian people and their Resistance is to overthrow the regime in its entirety. The goal is freedom, democracy, and the sovereignty of our people’s republic.

Yes, now is the turn for the mullahs to be overthrown.

The selfless women and men who have never given in to the darkness of the mullahs’ tyranny will make the glorious goal of freedom a reality, hand in hand with the resistance units and Iranian protesters.

The darkness of theocracy will end with the dawn of freedom.
Hail to freedom
Hail to the people of Iran
And hail to the determination of you tireless friends

Iran opposition group calls for regime change in Paris march

By The Associated Press
Fri., Feb. 8, 2019
PARIS - Several thousand supporters of an exiled Iranian opposition group marched through Paris on Friday, calling for an end to Iran’s clerical regime 40 years after the Islamic revolution toppled Iran’s monarchy.

The Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, widely referred to in the West as the MEK, were joined at the rally by an array of speakers before the march, from former and current French politicians to a one-time Algerian prime minister and a Syrian opposition figure.

Crowds waved posters of group leader Maryam Rajavi and founder Massoud Rajavi — not seen since 2003 in Iraq, where the MEK once had a camp and waged war against Iran before being disarmed by invading U.S. troops.

The group bases its headquarters outside Paris with several thousand members in Albania, extracted in a U.N.-brokered effort from Iraq. Supporters are scattered elsewhere in the West as part of the Iranian diaspora.

Security was tight during the rally and march through Paris’ Left Bank. The group’s annual rally last year was the target of an alleged bomb plot, which was thwarted by arrests. An Austrian-based Iranian diplomat is being held in Belgium, where police found bomb material in the car of a couple of Iranian origin.

“As long as we’re dealing with the main state sponsor of terrorism, there is a concern ... But that will never stop us,” MEK spokesman Shahin Gobadi said. The MEK hones to U.S. President Donald Trump’s hard line on Iran, and supports U.S. sanctions on Iran.

One speaker, former French Sen. Jean-Pierre Michel, said in an interview that “I’m not a fanatic of Mr. Trump ... but I think the United States is right about Iran.” He chastised Europeans for what he views as their softer approach to Tehran.

Michel, 80, is a long-time supporter of the Mujahedeen, which has drawn around it numerous U.S. and European parliamentarians and former officials who disagree with critics’ portrayal of the organization as cult-like.

He praised MEK for having a woman at its head who says she wants democracy and separation of church and state in a future Iran, and he hopes one day to visit Tehran with Rajavi, saying, “It keeps me alive.”

Free Iran Rally – Paris 8 February 2019

The 40th anniversary of the 1979 anti-monarchic Revolution will be next month.
Iranian people are suffering for about half of century by a brutal religious dictatorship.
In this occasion The French Committee in Support of Human Rights in Iran (CSDHI) is calling for a major demonstration on Friday, February 8, 2019, against serious and massive human rights violations in Iran and the terrorist acts of the Iranian regime on European soil against its opposition.

Iranian diaspora call for a free Iran and support the democrticalternative NCRI

The Council of the European Union decided unanimously on January 8 to include a branch of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence on its terrorist groups’ list. The decision stemmed from the regime’s role in a foiled attack on the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI /MEK)’s annual gathering on June 30, 2018 in Villepinte.
Riding the wave of revolution against the monarchist dictatorship in Iran, the mullahs betrayed the cause of this great revolution for "independence, freedom and the republic" by instead establishing a religious dictatorship.
Iran stands on the brink of the 40th anniversary of the fall of the shah’s dictatorship (which took place in February 1979). Today, the Iranian regime, like the shah’s 40-years-ago, is more bogged down than ever. Incurable crises, protests and uprisings plague the regime. The Iranian public demands fundamental freedoms in every corner of the country. The demonstrators in Paris will express their support for freedom and democracy in Iran and the democratic alternative embodied by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
This initiative is supported by several district mayors of Paris, numerous human rights associations and the French Committee in support of Human Rights in Iran (CSDHI)
