Families of Terrorism Victims Protest Letter to the UN Secretary General

Iranian families of terrorism victims sent a letter to the UN Secretary General and called for the immediate action of this international organization for fighting against terrorism

His Excellency Ban Ki-moon
United Nations Secretary-General
New York
United States of America

Your Excellency,
Terrorist attack of Chabahar, Sistan and Balouchestan province of Iran, in which at least 37 people, mostly women and children, were killed once more, proved that terrorist groups would never abandon their inhumane acts and therefore the threat and danger posed by such groups would always overshadow the global community.

Your Excellency,
What happened in Chabahar city was the consequence of long-term support made for terrorist organizations by some governments due to temporary, political interests along with years of silence and passivity of international organizations before terrorist groups. Although such terrorist groups are well known all over the world, they continue their brutal antihuman acts without any obstacle and easily take the lives of innocent people in the most violent forms.

There was a two-month-old baby among the victims of Chabahar terrorist attack; undoubtedly all of the governments or international organizations which support terrorist groups or keep silence against their terrorist measures are responsible in his murder. Iran’s Justice Supporters Association comprising the families of 16000 victims of terrorism, condemning this savage act of terrorists, asks for the United Nations as the most important international organization, to take a serious and practical step based on its commitments stated in UN Charter, for preventing the occurrence of such events. United Nation should plan appropriate mechanisms for recognizing and identifying the perpetrators, facilitators and supporters of terrorist groups in order to administer justice against all involved in anti-human measures.

Undoubtedly, intensifying some measures, based on the United Nations Security Resolutions 1373 and 1535, in confronting with states or international bodies which directly or indirectly support terrorist groups, would be very effective and significant in this regard and could even prevent the occurrence of similar incidents. This Association may ask for Your Excellency’s call for the swift steps for fighting against terrorist groups and suppressing this ominous phenomenon of the third millennium.
Yours Respectfully,

Rouhollah Rostami
CEO and Board Member
Justice Supporters Association

Objection Letter of Families of Terror Victims to the European Parliament

The absence of coordination along with selective approaches of some governments and international bodies regarding with global dilemmas including terrorism is undoubtedly one of the main reasons for the expansion of this ominous phenomenon. In fact, how can we expect to have a world without bloodshed and murder of innocent people, when we see that a terrorist group is supported by some governments despite the existence of many documents confirming the terrorist nature of that group?

The adoption of a written declaration by some Members of European Parliament in order to put pressure on the US to remove an Iranian opposition group from its terrorist black-list, made us to write this letter to Your Honorable and express our disappointment and concern of the support voiced by these Representatives from the murderers of our children. Hereby, we also would like to reveal some facts about the terrorist organization of Mojahedin-e Khalq (MKO) which may be ignored by the MEPs due to the lies and deceitful gestures of the MKO ringleaders.

Your Excellency,
Because of the current global fight against terrorism, Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist Organization is now pretending to be a defender of human rights. It considers itself an organization which seeks for freedom and equality among human beings. This is while the same organization, based on the confession of its own leaders, has murdered 12000 Iranians and thousands of Iraqi civilians. Among the victims of the MKO terrorist attacks there are some children who have lost their parents before their eyes; you can find some people who have been mutilated in the bombing attacks; the terrorists of this organization have chopped up corpses or burned them. The operations conducted in some public places by bomb explosions have led to the death of many people who even hadn’t heard the name of this organization. The MKO forces have murdered Iraqi Kurds and Shiites and Kuwaiti youths when working as the private army of Saddam Hussein, the former Iraqi dictator. The hatred of the people in Iraq and Kuwait from this organization arises from these measures.

Other terrorist acts of the MKO include kidnapping, high-jacking, armed robbery ,attacks on civilians and military forces, planting bombs in public areas, money-laundering and terrorism. The leaders of the Mojahedin-e Khalq have considered such acts necessary for achieving their goals.

The points mentioned above, although strange, are real and many international documents like the Human Rights Watch report of May 2005 and American National Defense Institute (RAND) report of 2009 and the report presented by German Federal Office on Mojahedin-e Khalq have confirmed them. In all these reports Mojahedin has been referred to as a cultic organization which has deprived its members from their primary human right. Furthermore, you can come to Iran and visit thousands of the victims of this organization who are all the real and live documents for confirming the MKO’s terrorist nature. The Honorable Members of the European Parliament should know that an organization which has entered into war against its own country during the Iran-Iraq war, and committed treason against its own fellow countrymen can not feel mercy towards European nation. Can the MEPs guarantee that no one else would be victimized by this terrorist cult in future? Can Your Excellency secure that no one else would mourn for the dearest members of their families?

Objection Letter of Families of Terror Victims to the Representatives of the US House

The nature of terrorism and the criminals who murder innocent people is in a way that the lives of innocent people whether Iranian or American do not have any value for them. In fact, the only important thing for them is achieving their evil goals and accordingly they would remove any one opposing them. Do you remember General Harold Price, William Cottrell, Donald Smith, Robert Krongard and Lt. Col. Louis Lee Hawkins? They were the military counselors who have all been assassinated in Iran before the Islamic Revolution by Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization. Are you familiar with American companies such as International Telephone & Telegraph Cartel (ITT) and John Dyer Co. which were working in Iran before the Islamic Revolution of 1979? These companies have also been targeted by the MKO’s bombs.

Do you know which terrorist organization murdered Col. Paul Schaefer and Liet. Col. Jack Turner?

Indeed, do you know Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), their strategic approach and their activities in the past and at present? Are you aware of the consequences of letting a terrorist group, which has collaborated with Eastern Bloc and acted as the private army of Saddam Hussein in suppressing the Iraqi Kurds and Shiites and Kuwaiti youths, to operate in American soil? Do you know that MKO has one of the beigest human trafficking networks and has committed various crimes including kidnapping, high-jacking, armed robbery, attacks on civilians and military forces, planting bombs in public areas, money-laundering and terrorism.

Have you ever referred to international documents, which have been published about Mojahedin-e Khalq organization and recognized it as one of the most dangerous terrorist cults, in order to get more familiar with the real nature of this inhuman organization? Relying on communist thoughts, MKO seeks for freedom and human rights through armed conflicts. This issue is quite understandable from the flag and the symbol of the organization on it. The gross violation of human rights in this organization can not find anywhere else; prohibition of marriage, separating children from their parents, sterilizing women by taking their wombs out, torture, solitary confinement and above all changing the members into the captives without any sense of determination are just some of the disasters occurring in Ashraf Camp presently. The result of such mind transmutation techniques is obvious in 2003 self-immolation of some MKO members in several European cities.

Your Excellency,
The international documents like the Human Rights Watch report of May 2005 and American National Defense Institute (RAND) report of 2009 and the report presented by German Federal Office on Mojahedin-e Khalq have confirmed the above-mentioned points. These reports make a strong basis for us to understand the real nature of a terrorist cult whose freedom of activity is similar to letting a group of criminals be free in the society.

Your Excellency,
Deciding about a terrorist organization which has claimed responsibility for the murder of 12000 Iranians and thousands of Iraqis and Kuwaiti people is not easy and accordingly responding on the criminal acts which may occur in your country in future by this organization is definitely more difficult.

Undoubtedly your presence in Iran, Iraq and Kuwait and witnessing the documents related to the murder of thousands of innocent people including women and children would seriously affect your approach towards Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist organization. You would meet children who have lost their parents in the terrorist measures of this organization or innocent people who have been mutilated in MKO’s terrorist operations.

You can find people who want to see the trial of the leaders of this organization. In fact, how would you react against those who support September 11 terrorist attacks? The interesting point is that you are voicing support for delisting an organization which had celebrated and rejoiced after 9/11 event.

Letter of the Families of Terror Victims to the US Secretary of the Interior

Families of Terror Victims Objection Letter to the United States Secretary of the Interior

As you know, taking twofold and selective approaches in facing important international plights Objection Letter of the Families of Terror Victims to the United States Secretary of the Interior such as terrorism and fighting against it would result in the increase of such measures. There are many terrorist groups in your State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations (FTO).

Dear Mr. Salazar:

United States Secretary of the Interior
As you know, taking twofold and selective approaches in facing important international plights such as terrorism and fighting against it would result in the increase of such measures. There are many terrorist groups in your State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations (FTO). Based on US domestic laws any assistance and support to these groups is prosecutable and deserves punishment. On the other hand, these domestic laws have also been confirmed and reflected in international scene by some Resolutions including: 1373 (2001), 1456 (2003) and 1335 (2004) of the United Nations Security Council. These resolutions are all related to the existent threats against peace and international security posed by terrorism phenomenon.

Your Excellency,
Undoubtedly you would acknowledge that issuing permission for holding rally to the National Council of Resistance which is included in your FTO list, is the violation of international laws as well as US domestic laws. This is while your country has been the forerunner in the global fight against terrorism. The occurrence of such events in the United State’s governing system and giving permission by your Department to a terrorist organization which has murdered more than 12000 Iranians and thousands of foreign civilians including seven American military councilors to hold gatherings, can not be justifiable and defendable.

National Council of Resistance which is a terrorist organization operates under various titles including:

Mojahedin-e-Khalq (MEK)
People’s Mojahedin of Iran (PMOI)
National Liberation Army of Iran (NLA)
Muslim Iranian Students’ Society
Organization of the People’s Holy Warriors of Iran
National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)

This organization is now in US FTO list.

Based on the Human Rights Watch report of May 2005 and the report presented by National Defense Research Institute (RAND) in 2009, Mojahedin-e Khalq organization is a terrorist organization enjoying a cultic nature. US Department of State has also referred to the terrorist operations and international crimes of this organization including arms transactions and the cooperation of MKO with Saddam regime for the suppression of Iraqi Shiites and Kurds in 1991 in its August 2010 FTO list report. In one part of this report about the MKO’s terrorist attacks against American nationals we read:

The MKO exploded time bombs at more than a dozen sites throughout Tehran in 1972, including the Iran-American Society, the U.S. information office, and the offices of Pepsi Cola and General Motors. From 1972-75, the Mojahedin continued their campaign of bombings, damaging such targets as the offices of Pan-American Airlines, Shell Oil Company, and British organizations. They also attacked police posts and prisons. In 1974, MKO exploded the offices of some American companies. In 1975 Mojahedin-e Khalq assassinated two military officers of the United States of America. It staged terrorist attacks inside Iran and killed another US military personnel working on defense projects in Tehran in 1979.

We, the members of Justice Supporters Association comprising the families of terror victims of Iran would like to ask you, considering the background of this organization, how could it receive permission for holding a rally? Don’t you consider this measure taken by your Department as an act denying the rights of victims of this organization and degrading the international efforts for fighting against terrorism?

Describing the Mojahedin Khalq crimes at UN

Association of families of terrorism victims described the MKO crimes with its presence at the office of UN human rights in Geneva

According to the repot by Justice Supporters Association, the families of terrorism victims described the MKO crimes with its presence at the office of UN human rights in Geneva.

Presenting the films about MKO crimes and reading a statement from Iran’s Association of families of terrorism victims were some programs of the association at the UN Human Rights Council.

Describing the MKO crimes was so strange for the audiences and they wondered about the violations of human rights’ laws by the terrorist group.

The report stipulates that MKO in Geneva attempted to buy politicians and NGOs participating in this conference by paying enormous amounts of money.

Mujahedin Khalq Organization as a terrorist group

Letter to the families of victims of September 11

The letter of Iran’s families of terrorist victims to the families of victims of September 11

Terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 marked a painful beginning for the millennium of the The letter of Iran's families of terrorist victims to the families of victims of September 11 human civilization history. This event was the evidence of the obvious savageries of groups which do not consider any respect for human lives and do not hesitate in committing any crime for achieving their goals.

Terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 marked a painful beginning for the millennium of the human civilization history. This event was the evidence of the obvious savageries of groups which do not consider any respect for human lives and do not hesitate in committing any crime for achieving their goals.

We, the members of Justice Supporters Association, compromising the families of 16000 terrorism victims of Iran, once more condemning the September 11 attacks and expressing our sympathy with the victims’ families, believe that terrorism is an ominous phenomenon which revealed its cruel nature more than ever in 2001 attacks.

The happiness of terrorist organizations across the globe following this heart-breaking event showed that the global community is encountering interacted and dangerous organizations which do not follow any role in murder and violence, these organizations kill innocent people throughout the world from the biggest cities of the United States to the small villages of the Middle East.

One of these organizations is the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization which celebrated after the September 11 attacks due to its Marxist-Leninist ideologies. Now the question is that, why the leaders of terrorist organizations like MKO and Al-Qaeda which have bee designated as cult-like terrorist organizations, are not arrested and tried.

Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist organization, which has murdered more than 12000 civilians in Iran and cooperated in the suppression of Kurds and Shiites in Iraq, has perpetrated various crimes including kidnapping, highjacking, armed robbery, however, not any step has been taken by international societies for its eradication.

We, the families of terror victims and members of the Justice Supporters Association who have lost our dearest ones by MKO attack, call for the arrest and trial of the leaders of this terrorist organization. We would like to witness a day in which no one grieves for his beloved ones. This is not possible unless an international effort and cooperation of non-governmental organizations comprised of terror victims’ families of the world.

Iranian Families of MKO victims asks Europe to ban the group

Representatives of Iranian Families of terror victims called for the European Parliament not to permit terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) to carry out any action in Europe.
The representatives also expressed their readiness to provide evidence showing the MKO crimes.

"Presence of Maryam Rajavi, one of the top leaders of the MKO in the European parliament and her speech against the Islamic Republic of Iran, created a good opportunity to reveal performance and terrorist background of the group," the representatives said in a statement.
The statement highlighted the terrorist measures of the group killing 12,000 Iranians including women and children after victory of Islamic Revolution and its help to army of the former Iraqi President Saddam Hossein and Baath regime security services.

"We as representatives and children of 16,000 families of terror victims that 12,000 thousands of them have been murdered by the terrorist group’s attacks call for you not to let the group carry out any activity based on European and international rules." "We are ready to provide you with evidence of crimes of the group."

The Iraq-based MKO is listed as a terrorist group by many international organizations and some countries.

The MKO founded in 1960s and has masterminded a large number of terrorist attacks in Iran and Iraq, killing and injuring thousands of people.

The US troops disarmed the MKO terrorists following the 2003 US-led invasion on Iraq. Members of the group are now based at Iraq’s Camp Ashraf.

Former Iranian President Mohammad-Ali Rajaei, Prime Minister Mohammad-Javad Bahonar, and Judiciary Chief Mohammad Husseini Beheshti are among victimes of the group’s attacks who all were assassinated in 1981.

Terror Victims families’ statement condemning France’s backing of MKO

The Statement of Justice Society, Terror Victims families, in condemning the France’s backing of the MKO

28 June 1981 is the anniversary of the assassination of 72 outstanding members of the biggest Iranian Party. They were martyred in Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization’s terrorist operation. This is another evidence of the crimes of this terrorist organization. MKO began its operations before the Revolution and up to now has murdered 12000 people.

We are the families of the victims who have been killed by the MKO terrorists. Since we have realized the malicious nature of this cult with all our hearth and soul, condemning terrorism in any form, we believe that:

At the outset of third millennium, the history witnesses another black era of the sovereignty of sect-like thoughts which do not present any gift other than terror and aggression. The innocent people’s blood is the only fund of such a thought which intends to destroy humankind. Undoubtedly Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization with its countless crimes is the clearest evidence of this type of inhumane thinking.

Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist organization has perpetrated various crimes including kidnapping, high jacking, armed robbery and attacks on civilians and military forces. It has displayed terrorism in the most horrible forms like setting the corpse on fire or chopping them up.

It is quite surprising that this organization which has itself confessed to the assassination of American counselors in Iran and murder of Iraqi Kurds and Kuwaiti youths- whose corpse were unearthed in Ashraf Camp- now enjoys the complete support of western powers such as France. France has now turned into a safe haven for the anti-human activities of Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization. In spite of the existence of tens of international and regional conventions which condemn terrorism and emphasize on the necessity of encountering its operatives, how would French politicians respond the Iranian terrorism victims’ families for their illegal backing of the MKO. Mojahedin-e Khalq organization has recently deployed several terrorist groups to Iran for planting bombs in different parts of Tehran. This reality obviously proves that this organization not only doesn’t want but also can not abandon its treacherous and terrorist nature.

Indeed, how French politicians allow a terrorist organization that has confessed to the murder of 12000 children of this country, to hold anti-Iran gatherings and demonstrations? Isn’t it the evident violation of international laws? How could an organization, whose terrorist and sect-like nature has been approved by various documents released in European and American countries, deserved to be removed from European Union list of terrorist organizations? How is it possible that the MKO leaders who had been arrested in 2003 under the charges of terrorism and money-laundering now freely attend in European parliaments and fabricate lies?

French statesmen must know that the world public opinion and Iranian nation who have experienced the bitter taste of terrorism can never realize the logic behind such a dangerous measure. They ask this question that ‘isn’t it a threat to the global community to let this terrorist organization be free’? Wouldn’t the classification of terrorism to Bad and Good categories, expand the activities of similar groups? Have you pondered over the consequences of these supports? Is there any guarantee for abandoning terrorist acts by MKO members?

On this basis, we, the Families of Terrorism Victims, strongly request France and other European countries to take into account the contents of the Security Council Resolution 1373, which criminalizes any type of support from terrorists, considers them as prosecutable, and necessitates all member states to cooperate in the process of fighting against terrorism. In this regard another question comes to mind: Supporting Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist organization is not an obvious violation of Resolution1373?

Consequently, we, the descendents of victims of terrorism condemning any western support from Mojahedin-e Khalq organization, call for the insistent encounter of these countries and international bodies with MKO leaders.

Terrorist groups and the MEK

MKO, another version of al-Qaeda

A spokesman for the family members of terrorism victims in Iran says the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) is simply an earlier version of al-Qaeda.

Iraj Moradi, the spokesman for the Edaalat Society, which represents over 12,000 relatives of Iranian victims of terrorism, said the MKO and al-Qaeda use the same methods to lure their members into carrying out terrorist attacks.

Iraj is the son of Ebrahim Moradi, a blacksmith who was assassinated by the MKO in June 1984.

The Mujahedin Khalq Organization is a terrorist group banned by many countries including the US. It has claimed responsibility for numerous terror attacks inside Iran and Iraq since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

At a recent UN human rights conference in Geneva, Edaalat Society revealed documents highlighting the extent of MKO activities in Iran as well as the group’s cooperation with former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

The MKO has long been charged with assisting Saddam in the massacre of thousands of Iraqi civilians.

A British envoy, who has received the documents, asked the delegation to shed light on MKO crimes in a visit to the UK – where a British court has dropped the MKO from its blacklist of terrorist organizations.

“Edaalat Society does not seek revenge,”said Sepehri, the daughter of another Iranian victim.

“Branding some terrorists ‘good’ and some ‘bad’ would legitimize their actions and provide a pretext for their existence,”she said referring to the recent UK court ruling.

She added that is why the MKO has continued its existence.

According to Sepehri who is the official spokesman for the Edaalat Society, terrorists are sick people who are suffering from hallucinations due to the cult-like structure of their organizations and could be cured if they were freed from the mind-control tactics of their leaders.

A delegation of the Edaalat (Justice) Society has recently visited Geneva to attend the UN human rights summit and meet NGOs and rights groups.

UK parliamentary delegation’s visit to Edalat Society

UK parliamentary delegation’s visit to Edalat Society(Victims of Mojahedin Khalq terrorism)

British Ambassador to Tehran, Geoffrey Adams, along with members and the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons have met and talked with several families of victims of terrorism at Edalat (justice) Society in order to become familiar with terrorist nature and deeds of Mojahedin-e Khalq Organisation (MKO).

The British parliamentarians visited Iran recently on the invitation of the Iranian parliament (Majlis).

Ms Sepehri, a member of the society whose father (a 45-year-old tailor) was martyred by the MKO’s terror teams in 1984, while referring to the memoirs from his father, said that the MKO has assassinated over 12000 individuals in Iran besides cooperating with Saddam Hussein in killings of many Kurds and Shiite Moslems in Iraq.

Mr Mike Gapes, the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons who was present in the meeting said,”MKO are quite known to us; we do know them through Amnesty International and the Human Rights Commission of the United Nations.”

Then Ms Sobhani whose father (a 46-year-old shopkeeper) was martyred by the MKO’s terror teams in 1982 said:”Utilizing terror is not a tactic or a strategy for the MKO. It is part of their ideology and that is why they could never give in using violence; and this is an important and crucial point for those foreign supporters of the MKO who are aiming to use them as a tool.

“The leaders of this organisation are not trustworthy even for their friends.”

The visit of the UK parliamentarians to Tehran and their meeting with the society of the families of victims of terrorism took place while the MKO is claiming that they are enjoying the support of UK peers.

The MKO is currently in the list of designated terrorist groups in the UK, and the FCO has warned the statesmen not to have any contact with the members of this organisation.

During the one-hour meeting, Ms Sepehri addressed the members of the delegation and said,”Those who have sold their nation and their country to the aliens could never claim to be the advocate of the interests of the other nations and countries. This is a historic lesson that tells us one should avoid those opportunist groups who are terrorists and easily change color and tell lies.”

The chairman of the UK delegation, Mike Gapes, said after receiving some documents indicating the violation of human rights and terror by the MKO,”This documentation and other reports published by the international bodies about the MKO show that there is no doubt about their violent backgrounds. We are victims of terrorism too and the British people are also severely suffering from this phenomenon.”Some documentation about the terrorist activities of the MKO was handed over by the Edalat Society to the UK delegation.

Finally, the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Commons emphasised,”We have issued a joint statement between the governments of France, Germany, and the UK with the Islamic Republic of Iran in Paris. In this statement we reached an agreement that one article of it indicates that three European countries and Iran are decisively willing to tackle against terrorism and they are determined to do so. These groups include Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups such as the MKO.”
