Iran: Regime Intelligence Ministry, Judiciary Arrest and Issue Prison Sentences for the Supporters and Families of the MEK<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Evin-Tehran\"<\/p>\n

The Iranian regime\u2019s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) and the Judiciary have begun to arrest and issue prison sentences for the supporters and families of the\u00a0People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK)<\/a>\u00a0and those who have signed the statement of incarcerated and released prisoners.<\/p>\n

The desperate effort comes after the failure of the anti-MEK slanders and a fake petition signed by 8,000 so-called families of the MEK members and on the eve of the Iranian Resistance\u2019s Free Iran Global Summit in solidarity with the Iranian people\u2019s uprising.<\/p>\n
