MEK Supporters Testify Before Congress
The National Iranian American Council (NIAC) has launched a campaign against the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK) which I give some background info on here. (My post was cited at Andrew Sullivan’s The Dish along with Trita Parsi’s important article.)
Considering the millions of dollars that have been poured into lobbying activities for the “cult” like Iranian exile organization (disliked by Iranians in Iran and abroad) and the kind of big-name support they’ve been receiving, taking them on is no small feat.
Today MEK supporters testified before congress. You can watch the feed here.
