Iran dismisses European Court’s ruling on MKO assets

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad- Ali Hosseini on Wednesday dismissed as "legally unjustified and unacceptable" a ruling by the European Court of First Instance which annulled an EU decision to freeze the assets of the terrorist Mujahideen Khalq Organization (MKO).

"The ruling runs counter to the spirit of the UN Security Council resolution 1373 which holds governments responsible for fighting terrorist groups," said Hosseini on Wednesday.

Hosseini said such a measure will bring the credit and competency of authorities whose main responsibility is to defending people’s interests and fundamental rights under question.

The world public opinion will never forget MKO’s black record of inhumane crimes including their complicity in massacre of innocent Iranian and Iraqi people by former regime of Saddam Hussein, he added.

He said MKO has been recognized as a terrorist group by international organizations on the basis of the UN Security Council resolution 1373 and an European Union approval.

He added that any measure to unfreeze terrorists’ assets could serve to revive terrorism and spread terrorist activities. It will also be contrary to the responsibilities of the European Union in campaign against terrorism, he added.

Iran calls for an appeal against the European Court of First Instance, urging a fair and just judgment.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Terrorism

Coalition of Zionists, Wahabis and Baathists

Events and developments indicate that the idea of Salafis’ Wahabism, backed and promoted by Saudis and Wahabis in Persian Gulf region, is one of the main forces behind terrorism in the world.

Al-Qaeda, Taliban, followers of Zarqawi and suicide bombers in Iraq and all over the world are all the outcomes of this terrorist thought. If we deny this fact how can we interpret the terrorist operations of Wahabis in mosques and markets, particularly in Shiite districts?

If we search the world from the East to the West, we won’t be able to find anyone who backs the idea of performing terrorist operations in Shiite areas except Wahabis themselves who believe that killing Shiites is necessary and holy act! Extremist Wahabis consider all Shiites, without any exception, as unbelievers, hypocrites and evil the killing of whom is necessary in their religion. Leaders of Wahabism believe that Shiites are apostates and that they should be killed before Jihad is declared against other unbelievers. There’s no doubt that the enemies of Islam back this idea so as to prevent the spread of Islam in the world and to ruin the face of Islam.

Evil Coalition

So, the Zionists and Mosad would probably use these irrational people to conduct bombings and operations in Iraq. Zionists have an old enmity towards Shiites, who forced them t experience the taste of failure in the war on Hizballah.

Presence of Zionist analysts in Al-Jazeera TV channel and their stances against Shiites and insisting on getting rid of them is not surprising because the Zionists and Wahabis are on one side together.

The coalition of Zionists, Wahabis and Baathists and a number of Arab leaders is to destroy Shittes and push them to the sidelines.

This coalition is not new since according to the reports, Baathists came to power by Americans the history of this coalition returns back to a time before Shiites taking power in Iraq, the victory of Hizballah and Iran’s nuclear developments.

The role of mercenaries of Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist organization also should be considered. This treacherous group, ready to sell itself, is angry from Iraqis, Shiites and Kurds and works hard alongside Wahabis and Baathists to promote terrorism. This group is a tool in the hand of Mossad and America.

Iraqi Authorities' stance on the MEK

Ibrahim Jaafari’s Comments on the MEK

In an interview with IRNA, former Iraq Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari responded to a question on the “illegal presence of terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq organization in Iraq”.

“Our position towards non-Iraqi groups from neighboring countries is based on having well relationship with neighbors,” he said.

Former Iraqi PM added: “Based on this attitude, if Turkish Kurds’ Workers’ Party operates against Turkey, it will be banned from further activities.”

“Relations with Iran are also based on good will and we won’t accept MKO’s operations against Iran. This policy also applies about other neighboring countries. Iraqi government will not allow non-Iraqi groups to perform sabotage operations against other countries from Iraq. For these groups including the MKO, we have predicted two options: either leaving the country as soon as possible or stopping operations against other countries,” he added.

According to former Iraqi PM, the activities of all groups should be conducted in the framework of Iraqi constitution, according to which terrorist groups have no place in Iraq.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Function

A Deal, Dirty but Auspicious!

It was a long time that the terrorist MKO was looking for a chance to bring its detained leader- freed in a deal- to the scene again!

Can one say that the ruling of the European court (on annulling the orders to freeze MKO funds) was a proper opportunity? Anyway, the noise made by MKO’s propaganda machine on this worthless ruling was considered a good chance by Rajavi to show up.

It’s important for the Rajavis that others don’t understand how he got back his freedom.

As he treacherously left his deceived armed forces in Iran in 1981 and fled to France, Rajavi simply accepted to get his freedom in return for allowing the dismantling of Camp Ashraf!

One another condition for his freedom was to renounce terrorism and to give up bankrupt policy of armed struggle; he has accepted this wholeheartedly. His remnants in Europe and the US have allowed their lawyers to denounce terrorism and armed struggle in order to pave the way for political survival.

It means that Americans have gotten across their message to Rajavi: the only way to get out of the terror list (the only way for the survival of the group) is to admit the failure of armed struggle and quit claims about it. Insistence on voluntary denouncement of armed struggle by the MKO in the ruling of European court proves this.

So, Rajavi comes to the scene again while total failure in Iran means the total annihilation of MKO, NLA and Camp Ashraf. On the other hand, he creates a new political entity in Europe (like tens of other invalid groups) whose duty is to serve the policies of Western politicians.

Anyway, this dirty deal (the examples of which are numerous in MKO and Rajavi’s history) will pave the way for saving many of deceived members in Camp Ashraf and it will not allow the bankrupt gang of Rajavi to exploit these members anymore.

In addition, bringing Massoud Rajavi to the scene should be a starting point for bringing him to justice. He should account for 25 years of bloodshed under his total command.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Function

Double Standards of the west

Double Standards of the west in dealing with the Mojahedin-e Khalq?

In the United States as well as United Kingdom, the Mojahedin-E Khalq of Iran employs powerful and well connected lobbyists working to remove them from the terrorist lists of both of those countries. These lobbyists are attempting to erase the violent and bloody past of the Mojahedin-e khalq of Iran, and present a ‘revised’ version of history.

But the truth is that terrorism and violence are part of the foundation of this cult. In the absence of violence and aggression the Mojahedin will cease to exist as an organization.

The Mojahedin-e khalq of Iran have not once during their 40 years of existence condemned the use of violence as a method of struggle, and the current ‘official’ line of downplaying their past for politicians and media is just a ploy to fool the would be supporters.

The victims and groups of people who have been killed by the hands of the Mojahedin-e Khalq are not exclusively Iranians. American employees, Iraqi Kurds, Iraqi soldiers, Iranian civilians and Iranian state employees working for the Shah or the Islamic Republic are some of the people that have in the past been murdered by the Mojahedin. Even dissidents within their own organization have been killed by this cult.

Before the revolution of 1979, the Mojahedin announced with pride the assassinations of a number of Americans personal stationed in Iran as listed below:

Lt. Colonel Lewis L. Hawkins

Killed: June 2, 1973

Air Force Colonel Paul Schaeffer

Killed: May 21, 1975

Air Force Lt. Colonel Jack Turner

Killed: May 21, 1975

Donald G. Smith, Rockwell International employee

Killed: August 28, 1976

Robert R. Krongrad, Rockwell International employee

Killed: August 28, 1976

William C. Cottrell, Rockwell International employee

Killed: August 28, 1976

In addition, an extensive campaign of bombings and other terrorist activities towards American & Israeli interests in Iran is available, as evidence of their bloody past.

After the revolution of 1979, the Mojahedin played an active role in the executions of the former Shah’s heads of government in kangaroo courts and sought furiously to seek the death penalty for anyone believed to have been working with the then deposed Shah of Iran or had been known to have any relationship with the Americans.

The Mojahedin supported vigorously the takeover of the American embassy on 4th November 1979, and in order to portray themselves as even “more revolutionary” then the Iranian guards supporting Ayatollah Khomeini, they decided to attack and occupy the Americans consulates in Isfahan and Tabriz.

When the power struggle between Mojahedin and the ayatollahs came to a head, they quickly fell back on their old habit of violence and terrorism. And from 1980 to 2003, more than 16,000 Iranians have been killed in their campaign of terror. The majority of those killed were innocent civilians targeted in calculated moves to bring instability and fear into the daily lives of Iranians in the hope that it would result in the downfall of the Iranian regime.

Beginning from 1982, the Mojahedin started to slowly move their camps inside Iraq with the full support of Saddam Hussein. They were given the necessary equipment and security to continue their campaign of terror. As well as operating as a spy agency for the Iraqis the Mojahedin in effect ended up being nothing more then a proxy army for Saddam Hussein. They engrained their brutal and dictatorial form of power and during a long process of brainwashing their own members and putting an end to male and female relations, the leaders of the Mojahedin created a dangerous “zombie army”.

These same brainwashed members set about to murder innocent Iraqi Kurds in 1991, at the request of Saddam Hussein.

During their stay in Iraq (1982 – present), tens of dissident members have been imprisoned or killed. Two examples include the death of Parviz Ahmadi and Ghorban Torabi, who died under torture in camp Ashraf in 1996.

In June of 2003, while Maryam Rajavi, the self proclaimed president of Iran was arrested by French police, more then 10 supporters and members of Mojahedin showed their objection to the arrest by setting themselves on fire. Of these 10 individuals, 4 suffered such an extent of damage from the fire that they died shortly after.

On May 2005, Human Rights Watch, an independent organization issued a report by the name of ‘No Exit: Human Rights Abuses Inside the MKO Camps’ which explored the dark side of the Mojahedin by interviewing a number of ex-members and their painful experiences as members of cult of Rajavis. In a report issued later in February 2006, Human Rights Watch responded to the allegation made by the Mojahedin on the legitimacy of the NO EXIT report and concluded that the statements made in the previous report were in fact truthful.

Whether Mojahedin-e Khalq of Iran will remain in the terrorist list or not, makes no real difference to the Iranian people. This is because they are viewed as a terrorist cult who has no base of support among the people of Iran.

The removal of Mojahedin-E Khalq of Iran from the terrorist list will only be a mark of shame. This will only reinforce the sense of double standards that is still harboured among Iranians. It now remains to be seen as to how the west will stand by its claims of assisting human rights and democracy for Iran and other countries in need.

USA

Friends of Once Enemy

Reading the Wall Street Journal’s recent article “Anti-Americans On The March”, I was grabbed by the MKO’s overwhelming metamorphosis when the past memories floated through my mind. The article mainly discusses that a universal movement, regardless of being religious or atheist, to fight American hegemony has already initiated with the Lebanon’s Hezbollah forming the matrix. Religion, once regarded the main ideological obstacle to form a comprehensive resistance against the American imperialism, now prompts a collective goal once impossible to achieve:

Religion, excoriated by Karl Marx as the "opiate of the masses," has become a great mobilizing force — even for zealous atheists. The phenomenon extends beyond the Middle East to Europe, Latin America and Africa, too. Causes that a few years ago seemed moribund or at least passé — socialism, Third World solidarity, strident anti-Americanism — have been injected with the fervor, though rarely the actual faith, of Islamic radicalism.

Once itself the forerunner of such resistance, MKO has taken a sloping path swimming against the current. In its formation of struggle against the ousted Iranian monarchy, the organization propagated the idea that “there is only one major enemy: imperialism and its local collaborators”. Mojahedin denounced the American imperialism for its political, economic, social and cultural break-in role.

Mojahedin insisted that most of the world’s problems had been created by imperialism and that their main goal was to free Iran of the US imperialism. Alas, now it has turned to be something of the past found only in Mojahedin’s earlier publications and pamphlets.

The past imperialist and enemy, itself careful not to put all its trust in the blacklisted terrorists, is sought for a helping hand to assume power in Iran. Promising to do its best as a means of furthering the US-Zionists shared interests, Mojahedin has detached itself from the front of anti-American campaigners, since the common goal has evaporated, to befriend the enemy.

It seems that Mojahedin’s metamorphosis and digression is the outcome of disbelief in any belief; the communists and atheists at least believe that there is no God.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization members' families

Help for a safe Return of Somayeh From Iraq to Canada

To:

The Honourable Monte Solberg, P.C., M.P.

Citizenship and Immigration Canada

Ottawa, Ontario

K1A 1L1

Dear Mr. Solberg

We, the undersigned, call on you to conduct a thorough, investigation into the circumstances that led into the abduction of a minor at the time, Somayeh Mohammadi, by the MEK (Mojahedin e Khalgh) organization. We are also at the opinion that she should be joining her family immediately with no more delay caused by the officials. We, strongly believe that it is against our Canadian values to let the organization still be active in our country and lobby our politicians while the pleas of the Mohammadi family is being ignored by the same authorities.

Ms. Somayeh Mohammadi, an Iranian-Canadian student was taken from Canada on a false pretension of, a month long, educational trip to Iraq in 1998 and was kept there since. The devastated Mohammadi family has been trying since to return their beloved child back to Canada. Their efforts included but not limited to over five trips to the dangerous and war torn Iraq. In doing so, they have not spared any resource or efforts to the level that the family is currently unable to support itself by any means.

Considering the limited resources of a working class family, with three more children, which has already suffered beyond imagination vs. the obstacles they face in order to reunite with their daughter and sister we urge the Canadian government to help this family and facilitate this reunion.

In the spirit of the holiday season, while all Canadian families are trying their best to express their love for each other, we urge the government to deal with this issue with kindness and generosity in mind.

We wish to see the Mohammady family celebrate this holiday as a whole for the first time in the past 8 years.

Sincerely,

www.somayeh.org

Sincerely,

Mujahedin Khalq 's Function

MKO’s Excuses for Political Inabilities

According to the published reports, terrorist group of Mojahedin-e Khalq is trying to use a law firm in its efforts for being lifted from terror list.

This move is not new but it has been an ongoing effort for years. MKO used/is using different groups and individuals, bribing them with large amounts of money, hoping that they can save this group!

Mojahedin sometimes resorted to people, thought to be able to do something for the organization; people like Paul Wolfowitz, John Bolton and …

The main point the group tries to hide from its own members is that the group was fully supported by Saddam and some other western countries while being out of terror list but it could do nothing.

The next point is that even if the group, after resorting to a legal firm and testing different, is lifted from terror list. What would happen?

This can be viewed from two different angles:

– That whether they can effect Iran’s political and social scene (they have not been able to do see due to being on terror list)

– That what benefits the group could get in the case of being removed from the list (that has been deprived of due to being designated)

On the issue of Iran, it should be said that all MKO’s incurable problems rise from the fact that they have no popular base inside Iran, but they are hated by Iranians. All observers agree with this fact.

This very fact is also influential in Westerners’ decisions on the group and prevents them from making contact with the group.

Therefore, being removed from the list will not solve this group’s problems. With a long-term look at the issue, the removal of the group from the list will bring worse situation for them because then they will have to account for their futile efforts in the past years.

Government and parties, the MKO think would help the group in the case of being removed from the list, believe that the group should quit terrorist policies and turn to a political organization. Then, the incurable pain of lacking popular support and political inability comes to the group and anti-Iranian parties in the West- even the stupid ones like Neocons- are smart enough not to be trapped in this vicious circle.

Maryam Rajavi

A Probe into Never Responded Questions

It seems that Maryam Rajavi’s recent trip to some European countries as Iranian president-elect in exile and her interview with a variety of Medias creates her an opportunity to provide appropriate answers to many existing but ambiguous challenges. Naturally, most of the journalists and media men have got tired of hearing and penning mediocre issues like that of Iran’s nuclear file, claims of the West granting concessions to Iranian regime, human rights violations, terrorism, women’s violated rights, the third democratic option, referendum, and many of the like articulated in her speeches. The details have always remained undiscovered for the reporters as she is most interested in generalization.

She always tries to avoid expounding on issues that disclose her organization’s clear stance; its inclination to the armed struggle as the main strategy, its past collaboration with the ousted Iraqi dictator, the reach of its publicity among its own insiders, sympathizers and Iranian people, its general view on the global terrorism, its ties with Israel and many more. Hardly any questions have been arisen in respect to the mentioned. Karim Haghi’s correspondence with Paulo Casaca, a Portuguese MP, inspired me for the first time to suggest questions that media men might put forward for her to answer, questions that should have already been asked but dropped to be published for certain reasons.

The following questions are examples of hundreds of questions that I myself as a journalist might have asked her if came face to face with her. You may add many more if you like.

1. Can Mojahedin once and for all express their clear stance on the armed struggle strategy?

2. If they have converted to be pro-democratic, can they explain about the internal revolutionary spark behind it?

3. Seemingly, unlike the early Mojahedin, they crow to be no anti-imperialists. Thus it requires them to be democrat, liberal, advocates of unlimited private properties, and so. Can they explain where and when they have discussed the details on the approach?

4. If Mojahedin have really foresworn the armed struggle, then, for what reason they are fully preserving the so-called Liberation Army?

5. How could Mojahedin justify the absolute contradiction between the contents of their ideological revolution and their seemingly inclination to the Western democracy?

6. Most of the defectors, analyzers, Human Rights Watch, and intelligent agencies believe the organization follows a cult-like procedure. How can Mojahedin justifiably reprove?

7. The Iranian opposition in general consider Mojahedin as hegemonist. What do they have to say?

8. Can Mojahedin prove how popular they are among Iranian people?

9. Is it logical that their estimation of their popularity among Iranian is based on a comparison made on Camp Ashraf residents and that of Iranian population?

10. Can Mojahedin explain about their impartial role in Iraq under the tyranny of Saddam?

11. What position do they take on bombings inside Iran killing many innocent civilians?

12. What Mojahedin think of UNHCR’s resolve that any decision on Mojahedin’s future in Iraq is up to the decision of Iraqi authorities?

13. Mojahedin propagate they are supported by Iraqi people. The authorities, in contrast, insist to expel them. Does it mean that they believe the Iraqi government fails to be people’s legitimate representative?

14. They have preferred to take a silent position on Saddam’s past atrocities against people while they reiterate to advocate a democratic Iraq. How do they justify the controversy?

15. Why Mojahedin have remained silent about many proven evidences of their past close collusion with Saddam’s intelligent system disclosed by many news agencies?

16. Common in all political groups and parties, the insiders have the freedom to leave whenever they wish. Is it also the same in MKO?

17. Suppose Mojahedin have formed a transitional government emphasizing democratic freedoms. As they have repeatedly rejected activities from the side of the advocates of the Islamic Republic and the monarchists in their government, how do they define democracy? And what if people vote for a system of monarchy?

18. Self-immolation and self-burnings are commonly practiced in MKO. Are they ideologically adopted practices?

19. Mojahedin believe that MKO’s proscription in the list of global terrorist organizations was the outcome of a move to appease Iranian rulers. The West is now taking a hostile position against Iran, as seen in Iran’s nuclear file. Why Mojahedin are still labeled as terrorists?

20. Published in Mojahedin’s documents, they have announced the responsibility of 140,000 political assassinations in Iran. Do they still reiterate their claim?

21. Is the proposed democratic solution the outcome of Mojahedin’s failure in armed struggle strategy or a fundamental change in their ideology?

22. Mojahedin state that the State Department added the MKO to a list of global terrorist organizations as ‘a signal’ of the U.S.’s desire for rapprochement with Iran’s reformists. Now the fundamentalists have assumed the power as they believe. Besides, the US has taken a more hostile attitude towards Iran and Mojahedin claim to a have close role in Iran’s nuclear file. Yet, they still remain a blacklisted terrorist group. Where the discrepancy lies?

23. To stay in Iraq, Mojahedin claim to be relying on people’s support, then they state they are enjoying the protected status granted by the coalition forces, and last, they get hold of international conventions. Can they define which has the real priority?

24. Mojahedin and the NCRI pose to be the main Iranian opposition. What about other opposition? Where they have achieved the superiority or the legitimacy?

25. Mojahedin have recurrently attacked Iranian embassies in many countries. How do they justify such undemocratic attempts?

26. Besides Camp Ashraf in Iraq, Mojahedin have a variety of bases in France and other European countries. Are the members dispersed in different bases equally treated as to the organization’s internal parameters?

27. Can Mojahedin make it clear about their budget and the financial sources?

28. How do Mojahedin define terrorism?

29. How Mojahedin justify compulsory divorces of the members, ban of procreation, and denial of familial life?

And there are many more questions to be proposed. We hope the European parliamentarians bear these questions in mind when they hold meetings with Maryam Rajavi.

Mujahedin Khalq 's Function

Disclosure of a Pure Fact

Following a violent trend of struggle, MKO typically cannot tolerate any form of criticism by anyone. The group usually attacks the critics and attributes them to Iranian regime.

On December 3. MKO-run website thus reported:

Citing the Undersecretary on Security Affairs of Iraq and the Governor of Diyala

Province, Iran’s ruling religious fascism claimed, “The PMOI cooperates with Al-Qaeda.” It added, “Activities of the U.S. forces has led the terrorist mojahedin group to murder Shiites in Diyala Province in cooperation with Takfiri groups (referring to Islamic extremist groups)."

Iraqi PM’s Security Advisor Shirvan Vaeli earlier in an interview with Al-Forat TV had said: "Mojahedin-e Khalq has made alliance with Al-Qaeda in Dyalah province; it’s conducting terrorist activities in this province."

Shirvan Vaeli’s comment came after MKO had announced that they had formed "National Front for Saving Dyalah". The national front the group referred to was, in fact, a novel alliance with Saddam loyalists and other insurgents that could not abide a free and democratic Iraq.

Being well aware of MKO’s terrorist nature, Iraqis have no need to be informed of the group’s terrorist activities by the Iranian side and the group’s alliance with other uncompromising Iraqi groups. Living among the Iraqis at the present, MKO sees no other way but to condemn Iran of the claims that are nothing but pure facts disclosed by Iraqi individuals.
