Following a strange meeting between a number of Belgian Senators and Maryam Rajavi, Iran’s terror lady, and some other leading members of terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq, Belgian TV (RTBF)- in a professional move- broadcast a documentary on the event.
The parliamentarian advocates of MKO are not, no doubt, nai’ve about the violent nature of the group and the reasons that led it onto the black list of the proscribed terrorists. Few of them, for certain political, or maybe personal, reasons prefer to close their eyes on reality for the time being. The main issue for them is to deal with Iran utilizing some kind of leverage of pressure, which in this case they have mistakenly concluded to be MKO.
The Iran Policy Committee describes itself as:
Iran Policy Committee (IPC) is comprised of former officials from the White House, State Department, Pentagon, intelligence agencies, and experts from think tanks and universities.
The Executive Director is described as a former employee of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
Following the ruling of the EU’s second court on lifting the ban on the funds of terrorist MKO in Europe, remnants of Rajavi’s cult are stupidly trying to take advantage of this ruling in other countries and pave the way for being taken out of the terror list.
The French-language TV interviewed some of the former members of the MKO who said they were duped by the terrorist grouplet. One of them, named Arash Sametipour, explained the methods of the MKO and how he was tricked by the grouplet. ..
A report was made by Focus Grant, a national paper, from the court of appeal in the Netherlands on 14 December 2006. In parts we read:

“Ms. Sabin Mayer, Director of Human Rights and International Relations of EU’s Greens, pointed to the process of talks between Europe and Iran since the government of Khatami and said:”Geopolitically, Iran is important and European Union believes that Iran can be taken out of isolation only by dialogue. Parliament knows that along with talking with Iranian officials, more activity is needed in the field of talking with Iranian opposition, writers and citizens.”
Last month, the Canadian government reviewed the group and found that it still qualified to be on the list of terrorist organizations banned in Canada, said Philip McLinton, a spokesman from the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.
Recently, the heads of tribes in Dyala province held a conference to discuss the critical economical and security situation as well as the presence of terrorist groups in the province.A delegation of tribal leaders also briefed the government on the ways of improving security situation in the province.
And: “that it [MKO] has expressly renounced all military activity since June 2001”. The Mojahedin Khalq and its leaders Massoud and Maryam Rajavi have never at any time announced that the MKO has renounced violence. It has been revealed, however, that a statement indicating that it had renounced violence had been made privately by the MKO to the Court through its lawyers. The Court of First Instance apparently took this statement at face value.
