Ashraf 3 - MEK-PMOI compound
The article on 'Coffee Or Die' Magazine discusses the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK) - People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, an Iranian opposition group that has a controversial history, including a period of being designated a terrorist organization by the US. The MEK has found refuge in Albania since being expelled from Iraq, where it has built a base with thousands of members. The group has been accused of using cult-like tactics to control its members and has a history of violence. Despite these controversies, the MEK has sought to gain support from Western governments as a democratic and secular alternative to the Iranian government.
