Every year, Iran’s main opposition group, the People’s Mojahedin (PMOI), otherwise known as the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), and its parent coalition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), Iranians from all over the world and many distinguished guests from numerous countries gather to support the opposition movement and the people of Iran in the quest for a ‘Free Iran’. For the past few years, this major event has taken place in Paris, but this year it was held in Ashraf 3, the new home of the MEK, in Albania.

If you’ve ever searched the news media on subjects related to Iran, you must have noticed the massive amount of negative campaigning that surrounds the subject of Iranian main opposition group, the Mojahedin-e Khalq or MEK.

These reports usually claim that the movement is comprised of a small group of exiles who carry no support among Iranians. But, having that said, no one ever explains – if the group has no support among its own people and carries such small weight in the Iranian politics – then, what all the fuss is about?
