Another recruiting tactic was arranged with the assistance of Saddam’s government. Iranian prisoners from the Iran-Iraq War were offered the choice of going to MeK camps and being repatriated or remaining in Iraqi prison camps.
The MeK as a Cult
From its earliest days, the MeK had had tight social bonds, but these began to be transformed into something more sinister during the mid-1980s after the group’s leaders and many of its members had relocated to Paris. There, Masoud Rajavi
Despite its leadership's intensive efforts to get out of the Foreign Terrorist Organizations list of US state Department, Mujahedin-e Khalq remains on it for sixteen consecutive years.

Obviously, the only reason for the opposition of the hypocrites towards the plan for the division of schools into districts, was to protect their particular interests.
Disregarding school regulations, like refusal to show identification cards:

Prior to 2003, all MEK members carried cyanide tablets in leather pouches around their necks, according to RAND. Since then, "the MEK frequently used the threat of suicide as a negotiating tactic or to frustrate investigations."
Camp Ashraf
But a top priority for speakers at pro-MEK events is Camp Ashraf and its 3,400 occupants, who after years of military training during the Saddam era were disarmed with a promise of protection from US commanders.
The camp – due to be closed
Leaders of several House committees in a letter on November 22 (50 days before Iran's N-scientist assassination) urged President Obama to use significant covert action against Iran on the pretext that it has involved in the plot to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to US.

Their slogans were rather directed against the Islamic government authorities than America which prepared the ground for a direct attack upon the Islamic Republic, and as we said before, the purpose was to question the legitimacy of the government of the Islamic Republic.

In regard to the disruption of school classes in the name of political discussion, they argue: «When the lesson begins, create
By all accounts, no coalition forces officers on the ground in Iraq, including those responsible for detainee issues, received a briefing of any significance regarding the MeK prior to deployment or interacting with MeK members.

An IPC panel in 2007 lists one speaker as Alireza Jafarzadeh, the MEK spokesman in Washington who the RAND report notes had "directed the MEK's US lobbying apparatus" until it was designated an FTO. Mr. Crowley told the Monitor that Mr. Jafarzadeh – who today runs a Washington consultancy and conducts pro-MEK work – is "the driving force” behind the current campaign.
Who pays?
The sources of funding for the campaign to rehabilitate the MEK are not clear, even to US officials
As they intended to misuse the Cultural Revolution, they directed their forces in schools to close them down, to go outside the university and instigate clashes, and after closing the classes, they put the blame on the Islamic Republic.
THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION
It was during the same year that the question of the Cultural Revolution in society was raised. The hypocrites, who had managed by means of the said methods to establish themselves to some extent and gather some forces
Because of its FTO status and its history of military service to Saddam, the MeK had been designated a hostile target prior to the OIF invasion.
Chapter Four
Unexpected Challenges, Unintended Consequences, and Lessons Learned
In the big OIF picture, the MeK had a small role. Where detainee operations are concerned, however, it loomed much larger—not only in the early days of the conflict, when MeK members being held at Camp Ashraf comprised a large percentage of the detained
Saddam "armed them, paid them, and sent them on missions into Iran during the later stages of the Iran-Iraq War," notes Mr. Pollack, adding that they became "such creatures of the Iraqi regime" that they helped crush Shiite and Kurdish revolts in 1991 that the White House had encouraged – actions that today are one reason for enduring anti-MEK hostility from Iraq’s Shiite-led government.
Raising doubts about change
But the MEK’s history has raised doubts among Iran specialists
To show what they meant by this position, we quote the exact words of Sa'id Manbari who was in charge of the student body at a high level «Our aim by this position was to make ourselves the axis and assume the initiative for action».
THE HYPOCRITES AND THE SPY DEN'S OCCUPATION
The Revolution in its continuity, reaches one of its significant chapters with the important occupation of the den of spies. Here again the hypocrites cunningly entered the field. In spite of their private
Option 3: Repatriating the MeK to Iran
Because the majority of MeK members are Iranian nationals (though many are effectively stateless because they no longer have documentation or valid Iranian passports), the discussion of repatriation begins and ends with Iran.13
Aside from the general desirability of restoring individuals to their rightful homeland, the principal and most compelling reason to pursue repatriation to Iran is that, for more than five years, Iran has offered and honored a
Arrested on charge of spying for Israel, Mohammad Ali Husseini, the phony delusional Lebanese cleric who claims to be more qualified than Seyyed Hasan Nasrollah to lead the Lebanese revolutionary forces, has revealed that the MKO (Mujahedin Khalq Organization) has been spying for Israel in his confessions, Habilian Association database reported.

DECEIT AND SABOTAGE
Let us come back to the main point. The country's authorities were aware of the intentions, goals and methods of the Organization. Therefore, they declared that political activities could be done, as far as they were not in group, for what endangered society after the victory of the Revolution was the lack of unity and solidarity among its various classes.
Everyone was aware of this reality. This criterion was acceptable to both students and people but not to the group
During the CBS News/National Journal policy debate on Saturday night, GOP candidates explained the measures they would take to impede Iran’s progress in its nuclear program by all means, including “taking out its scientists” and lending a helping hand to its dissidents.

One of the obstacles to resettling the MeK is that its leadership has made clear that it wants the approximately 3,500 members to be moved either to a single country or to a small number of countries (preferably with strong social welfare systems) in order to protect the group’s vitality.
Option 2: Resettling the MeK in Third Countries
Given the IRI’s history of persecuting members of the MeK, the United States presumed that the principle of nonrefoulement prohibits
Two camps were set up, one in Abbas Abad and another at Gul-Tappeh of Zanjan. The former undertook construction tasks I while the latter, those of pipe-laying and supplying water for the village. Let us see the motives behmd these moves.
METHODS USED TO INDUCE STUDENTS
You know that after the Revolution, the primordial aim of the hypocrites, who lacked a popular base, was to convert and train forces for their infiltration in society. The first step that was taken to attain
Some of the attendees had been bused and flown in at no personal cost, receiving transportation and in some cases lodging and meals. One attendee who spoke with ThinkProgress, Melvin Santiago, 23, a homeless man living in shelters in Staten Island, New York, said he’d found out about the protest from a friend he’d come with. They made the trip along with about 100 other people in four rented coach buses. “He saw [a flier] yesterday passing by the church,” said Santiago of his friend. “He
