So it's not true, or you just don't like the source?
MEK is hated in Iran, for it fought on the side of Iraq during the
Iran-Iraq War among other things. About MEK and its US backers, see
<http://rightweb.irc-online.org/profile/3280>.
If the FMF wants to report this story at all, it can cite Amnesty
International or IPS, for instance:
<http://ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=34939>. Even then, I'd still note
that the facts are contested: "Officially Iran had placed a moratorium
on the cruel and painful practise in 2002, but Amnesty claims
sentencing continues."
