The letter (From the Iranian woman who was executed) to her mother: True or Mossad propaganda?

From comrade Electronic Ali: "As'ad, to follow up on your post: Many people and lots of media have been sharing this message supposedly sent from the executed woman to her mother:

You can see how many media reported it with a google news search: reyhaneh jabbari mother message

Here's the thing: it comes from an MEK website. "National Council of Resistance in Iran" is just another name for MEK.

Yet no one who has shared it has questioned its credibility. I say this as a fierce opponent of the death penalty in any place. But seriously, now all of a sudden MEK is a credible source on events inside Iran? I asked on Twitter a couple of times if anyone had a source other than the MEK website. I have not seen one yet.

Here, for instance, Middle East Eye refers to MEK as just "Iranian activists"!!!

It just goes to show how standards are completely different when it comes to reporting on Iran or Arabs or Muslims."

PS As you all know, the National Council cult used to be a tool of Saddam's intelligence service before becoming a tool of the Mossad.
