SPAK accuses that illegal activities have been undertaken inside the Iranian Mujahideen camp in Manza, including cyber attacks. But what SPAK has now identified from social networks has been identified at least since March 2021.

At that time, 300 personal accounts, pages and groups operated by users based in Albania were deleted from Facebook and Instagram for violating the policies and terms of use of the two largest social platforms in the world.

The figure was given in the monthly suspicious activity bulletin that Facebook made public in March 2021. "We took down over 300 accounts, pages and groups from Facebook and Instagram that were run by what appeared to be a 'propaganda farm of the Iranian Mujahideen. in Albania", says Facebook.

The target of the activity of these pages, accounts and groups has been mainly the Iranian and international public, propagating the agenda of the mujahedin, who are known internationally as the opposition to the regime of the ayatollahs in Iran.

In total, the number of these accounts, pages and groups operating in connection with each other had a number of followers reaching up to 150 thousand people.

But what did Facebook reveal? The company says that it fell on the trail of this activity after discovering in three different cases suspicious activities from fake profiles that were operated by mujahedin from Albania.

From the in-depth investigation, engineers and security experts of Facebook and Instagram have discovered that this network had the peak of its propaganda activity in 2017 and in the second half of 2020.

The people behind this network in their activity combined the use of genuine accounts with fake accounts to comment on posts related to the MEK and on the posts of international media organizations, such as Radio Liria, BBC and Voice of America.

Facebook says most of the fake accounts used images of Iranian singers and actors, or dead dissidents, as photos or videos, but there were no shortage of online photos of children.

Facebook cited in its report the fact that the mujahedin are sheltered in the camp set up near Manza in Albania and the reports of some media about their activity, focusing on the public testimonies of some former members of the MEK, who say that they used money on hand to buy computers for the purpose of online propaganda.

According to Facebook, most of the fake accounts were created from 2014 to 2016, the period when the relocation of all MEK members from Iraq to Albania was completed.
