The mullahs\u2019 regime in Iran is deeply concerned about the Iranian opposition PMOI-MEK\u2019s growing influence, especially among the country\u2019s younger generation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the past few weeks the Iranian regime\u2019s Ministry of Intelligence & Security (MOIS<\/a>) and the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC<\/a>) have been summoning and arresting a large number of active and rebellious youths, especially supporters of the Iranian opposition People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>). Relatives of PMOI members are also among those being targeted in this latest wave of nationwide crackdown. Many individuals have been sent to prison and some have been temporarily released after being threatened, paying bail and providing written obligations. This further indicates the regime\u2019s utter fear of a new uprising sweeping the country and specific concerns regarding the MEK network of \u201cResistance Units<\/a>\u201d throughout Iran.<\/p>\n
