Yeez - have you read, or listened to, the Guardian report in my first post?
hello zeca.. I guess you are talking about
Arron Merat in Guardian.. I mean this one
yes I did read through that transcripts and casuallly went through that PDF file/book of that Swedish guy on that MEK... but NOT your tubes and podcasts
first of all I admit the fact I am not related neither I now much about this MEK business in Iran as well as out of the country ., AND I AM ONLY GOING THROUGH THE IMGAERY /Speeches/transcripts of Maryam Rajavi through internet and through some friends..
beyond that I have NO relationship with that organization., the only thing I like about it is., it opposed old regime as well new Islamic regime..., I will read through and go through more on that MEK ., BUT MY PROBLEM WITH YOUR LINKS IS THEY ARE NOT FROM IRANIAN .. they are from either Swedish or Italian or Albanian.. whatever and
it only presenting one side of the story I certainly do not like such pictures as this
they have to be open ..with open mind and open debates for the future of that country as well as betterment of its neighbors ..
as far as she is concerned .. I only know about her from web.. such as this

Rajavi in the election poster of 19804 December 1953 (age 67)
1). her political activism began when she was twenty-two after her sister Narges was killed by SAVAK Then she became a member of the People's Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI/MEK), and began her political career.
2). On 22 October 1993, the
NCRI elected Rajavi to be "Iran’s interim President" if the NCRI were to assume power in Iran
3).
Rajavi served as an organizer of the anti-Shah student movement in the 1970s. In 1979, she became an official of the social section of the PMOI/MEK, where she served until 1981. Rajavi was a parliamentary candidate in 1980
4). n 1982, Rajavi was transferred to Auvers-sur-Oise, Île-de-France where the political headquarters of the Mojahedin was located. In 1985, she became Joint-Leader of the PMOI and served as the Secretary General between 1989 and 1993
5). Rajavi presented her plan at the Council of Europe in 2006, which supports complete gender equality in political and social rights and, specifically, a commitment to equal participation of women in political leadership.
6). Her 10-point plan for the future of Iran stipulates that any form of discrimination against women would be abolished and that women would enjoy the right to choose their clothing freely. It also includes the ending of cruel and degrading punishments
7).
In October 2011, Theresa May banned Rajavi from coming to Britain in a trip where she was to "explain how women are mistreated in Iran". The high court then sued Theresa May, with Lord Carlile of Berriew (the Government's former independent reviewer of counter-terrorism laws) saying that
May's decision "could be viewed as appeasing the Mullahs"8 ) . In 2014, the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom dismissed an appeal from Lord Carlile of Berriew QC and others and upheld it to maintain the ban, which had originally being implemented in 1997. Members of the UK House of Lords argued that the Home Secretary was "violating Article 10 (freedom of expression) of the European Convention of Human Rights
9)..
Rajavi is not excluded from any other European country and engages regularly with parliamentarians in the European Parliament10. France
On 17 June 2003, Rajavi was arrested by Paris Police Prefecture alongside some 150 MEK members. She and 23 other people were investigated over suspicion of links to terrorism. Rajavi denied the charges, saying "the case was mounted to appease Iran." All charges were later dropped

So let us try to read both sides of coins... and I only watch tubes to cook cookies/snacks for my pet dogs .. UNLESS IT IS IMPORTANT AND NECESSASARY but I DO READ .. so please give the links of Persians/Iranians on Rajavi and her cult
such as folks like dr. Abbas Malekzadeh Milani .. who is Iranian., knows its politics and history inside out ., he is the right person to get information on Iranian resistance organizations like MEK and on people like Maryam Rajavi.
