On the eve of the trial of the toppled Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, some former members of the Mojahedeen Khalq Organsation (MKO) aka PMOI demanded that the leader of the outlawed Organisation and some of his close associates be also tried for “crimes against both the Iraqi and Iranian peoples”.
The toppled regime of Saddam Hussein actively supported international terrorism, and the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organisation, led by Massoud Rajavi, was at the top of the list of these terrorist organisations.
— The Mojahedin as part of Saddam’s military played a decisive role in the suppression of the internal uprisings in Iraq in 1991, and are responsible for the massacre of many Iraqi Shiites and Kurds who opposed Saddam.
The trial of Saddam Hussein will start on Wednesday 19th of October 2005…..The Mojahedin as part of Saddam’s military played a decisive role in the suppression of the internal uprisings in Iraq in 1991, and are responsible for the massacre of many Iraqi Shiites and Kurds who opposed Saddam.

The MKO, an Iranian opposition group based in Iraq takes advantage of Iraq’s resources and is protected by Americans…
…”Iraqi people are waiting for the trial of the leaders of this group in court of justice so that their real nature and face and their ties to Saddam’s regime are revealed.”…..Stressing the need to expel the elements of the MKO from Iraq, Al-Jomhooriah wrote:”Iraqi government and leaders must take necessary measures to root out remnants of Baath regime, including the Mojahedin-e khalq.”
After two decades of usurping presence of terrorist MKO in Iraq territory , along with Saddam Hussein ‘s monarchist aims in the region and considering their treason to both friend countries Iran and Iraq- as Saddam’s mercenaries and regarding to their activities including : Participation in”Morvarid”[pear] operation to suppress Kurds’ uprising in Iraq in which hundreds of Iraqi civilians were killed or injured by mortal squads of MKO….
..Masud, definitely. He is the leader and Maryam the commander-in-chief. They’re a political couple just like”Mao Tse-Tang”and”Chou En- Lia”. He told that Ayatollah Khomeini has divested him of a power that was legally his. He considered himself as Imam. Perhaps, that very”Imam Zaman”.

Any crime can have four distinguishing characteristics. The first is totally related to the criminals and the others are based on that. The second is related to the victim of the criminals, the third relates to the defenders of human rights who have taken on the task and duty of exposing the crimes of these criminals, and the fourth relates to international public opinion and the international conscience to judge according to the findings and the reports produced by the defenders of these victims of crimes.
