In the 37th public session of the trial of 104 members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MEK), held on Tuesday, August 18, in Branch 11 of the Tehran Province Criminal Court with a passionate public presence, new dimensions of this terrorist organization's activities and its extensive cooperation with foreign intelligence agencies were revealed. The plaintiffs' lawyers, families of martyrs, and witnesses who had left the organization presented important details.
The plaintiffs' lawyer, Masoud Maddah, citing domestic laws, detailed the charge of "cooperation with hostile states" against the organization. He emphasized that cooperation with the Zionist regime – even without recognizing it – due to its hostile actions against Iran's national security, is an instance of this crime. He reported the publication of coordinated statements by the MEK in support of the Zionist regime, precisely before and during the "12-Day Imposed War," calling this action a sign of the group's passivity and dependence.
One of the poignant moments of this session was the testimony of Nozhat Shaban-Azad, the wife of Martyr Fereydoun Abbasi Davani, the country's nuclear scientist. Taking the stand, she described two assassination attempts, an unsuccessful one in 2010 and the recent successful one during the 12-Day War (May 2024), which led to the martyrdom of her husband and a neighbor. She spoke of a life full of restrictions and constant threats to her family due to terrorist activities and recounted the horrific memories of being trapped under rubble after a missile hit their residential home.
Significant revelations in this session were completed with the testimony of "Eisa Azadeh," a former member of the organization. He detailed the extensive cooperation of this organization with US (CIA) and Zionist (Mossad) intelligence agencies after the fall of Saddam in 2003. He stated from personal observation the transfer of a massive volume of confidential documents collected from Iran to the Americans and Zionists – carried out on the direct order of Masoud Rajavi and under the supervision of Maryam Qajar (Rajavi) and Mozhgan Parsaie.
"Ann Singleton," a British citizen and former member of the organization, spoke about the mechanisms of "brainwashing" and "deceptive recruitment" of members in Europe. She pointed to severe mental control, separating members from their families, and using them as "passports" to receive money from Saddam Hussein's regime, emphasizing that this group has turned into an "armed cult" that is instrumentalized by foreign powers.
Subsequently, an expert named Morteza Simiari analyzed the methods of "phone phishing" used by the MEK to collect information from citizens and emphasized the need for public vigilance against suspicious phone calls. He also reported on joint meetings between the MEK and Mossad to coordinate attacks and even the training of Takfiri elements by the MEK. This expert revealed the establishment of a Mossad office in Albania after the transfer of MEK members to that country and the dispatch of some of them (such as Narges Sorkhri and Maryam Ahmadi) to "Tel Aviv" for training at "Mossad's Unit 8200" in psychological and cyber operations.
