Who is the MEK
The MEK, who they are and what their aim is.
They explain that the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) was
formed in 1965 and is the largest and most organised Iranian opposition
movement. It is the “main component of the coalition, National Council of
Resistance of Iran (NCRI), which acts as the parliament-in-exile”.
The group is “committed to a secular,
democratic, non-nuclear republic; gender equality; freedom of religion,
thought, press, and association; support for peace in the Middle East; and the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights”.
The role of the MEK is significant. It was the
MEK that exposed the Iranian regime’s nuclear plans, thus preventing Iran from
obtaining a nuclear bomb. It was thanks to the group’s network inside Iran thatthe MEK could reveal what was actually happening inside the country. The IAEA(International Atomic Energy Agency) as a result inspected facilities in Iran.
