MEK decision: multimillion-dollar campaign led to removal from terror list

The campaign to bury the MEK's bloody history of bombings and assassinations that killed American businessmen, Iranian politicians and thousands of civilians, and to portray it as a loyal US ally against the Islamic government in Tehran has seen large sums of money directed at three principal targets: members of Congress, Washington lobby groups and influential former officials.

Weeklog Dennis de Jong: Iraans verzet

"Als Europarlementariër zit je gelukkig niet alleen in vergaderzaaltjes over wetsvoorstellen te vergaderen. Dat kan wel, maar voor je het weet, zit je dan opgesloten in een ivoren toren. Daarom zei ik onmiddellijk ja, toen Harry van Bommel en Tiny Kox mij vroegen of ik de SP zou kunnen vertegenwoordigen bij de bijeenkomst van het Iraans verzet, die gisteren in Parijs werd gehouden. ... En bij aankomst in Parijs werd ik niet teleurgesteld: tienduizenden Iraanse vluchtelingen waren er vanuit de hele wereld samengekomen om hun protestgeluid tegen het Iraanse regime duidelijk te laten horen. Ongelofelijk hoe mensen die vaak naaste familieleden hebben verloren als gevolg van de harde onderdrukking in Iran, toch de moed erin houden."

'MEK support
The PBS documentary series "Frontline", reported, in October 2007, CIA supports Anti-Iranian organizations such as the People's Mujahedin of Iran (also known as the MEK or MKO) which has been involved in terrorist activities within Iran. Iran has demanded that the US stop supporting the MEK in exchange for stopping its support of Shiite's in Iraq.[24] The show quoted Vali Nasr, author of The Shia Revival as saying the Iranians had hoped that the fall of Saddam would destroy the MEK, which is generally unpopular in Iraq...the MEK operated in Iraq as an arm of Iraqi intelligence against Iranian operatives in Iraq, against Shi'ites and against the Kurds. And, in fact, one of the major pressures on the United States to round up the MEK and put them in a camp did not come from Iran; it came from [Iraqi President] Jalal Talabani.... And I think at a third level the Iranians look at the MEK issue as a test of U.S. goodwill...."'

The United States is removing the People’s Mujahadeen of Iran, or MEK, from its list of terrorist organisations.
The group supports the overthrow of Iran’s clerical leaders and fought alongside Saddam Hussein’s forces in the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.
The MEK has fallen out of favour with the Iraqi leadership since the fall of Hussein.
It has been on the US’s terrorist register since 1997, but has renounced its violent past and long campaigned to have the designation dropped.

'Canada, Iraq and Iran designate the MEK as a terrorist organization.[16][17] The European Union and the United States formerly listed the MEK as a terrorist organization, but this designation has since been lifted, first by the Council of the European Union in 26 January 2009 (following what the group called a “seven-year-long legal and political battle”),[18][19][20][21] then by a decision by U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton on 21 September 2012.[13]'
