From Wikipedia: "The National Council of Resistance of Iran NCRI founded in 1981 in France is the parliament in exile of the "Iranian Resistance" and is a political umbrella coalition of five Iranian opposition political organizations the largest organization being the People's Mujahedin of Iran MEK. The President-elect of the NCRI is Maryam Rajavi. The NCRI is also co-chaired by Massoud Rajavi. He has not made any public appearances since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The NCRI has been a controversial subject for economical-political exchange dialogues between the Iranian government the European Union and the United States on several occasions and considerable controversy surrounds the issues of whether the NCRI is merely a front group for the MEK whether the NCRI is involved in terrorism or whether it is "a legitimate dissident organization fighting for democracy in Iran." On 20 February 2008 in a press conference in Brussels NCRI claimed the existence of a clandestine nuclear site in Tehran." National Council of Resistance of Iran-Foreign Affairs Committee paperback
