The geographical impact\nof\u00a0Ashraf 3, the new home of MEK<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the repeated allegations and claims of the mullahs\u2019 regime in Tehran, the annual \u2018Free Iran\u2019 gathering of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI, Mujahedin-Khalq or MEK<\/a>), held in their new base, Ashraf 3<\/a>, the new home of MEK in Albania, with the presence of a large number of dignitaries from different countries and political parties, proved the political and organizational power of the MEK despite the various challenges it has gone through within the last few years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event also proved that the MEK is a viable alternative\nand the true representative of the Iranian people, both inside Iran and abroad.\nIndeed, after the darkness that engulfed beautiful Iran since 1979, it is time for\nthe dawn of victory to shed the light of prosperity on this darkened country\nand put an end to the nightmare of the mullahs, who brought nothing for the\nIranian people but war, blood, chaos and poverty, such as the Iran-Iraq war and\nthe Syrian war. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To those who are not familiar with the MEK, this question\nrises that what does \u2018Ashraf 3\u2019, the new\nhome of MEK \u00a0after its successful\nabut hard transfer from Iraq in 2016, mean? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ashraf Rabiei<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ashraf, was the wife of the Iranian resistance historic leader Massoud Rajavi<\/a>. She was one of the resistance\u2019s heroines who bravely fought and sacrificed her life. Her sacrifice and courage inspired many Iranian women to join the resistance and she became a symbol, proving that the MEK leadership is dedicated to the cause of freedom. The MEK\u2019s two camps in Iraq, one founded in early 80s and the other after their forceful relocation to it, which was a former American base, named Ashraf 1 and Ashraf 2.\u00a0 Despite various hardships and a brutal siege imposed on their camps by the Tehran-backed Nouri-Al-Maliki government, MEK members turned their camps into an oasis in the desert. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
