“Shame on (President Nicolas) Sarkozy! Death to France! Shame on you, France, let go of the hypocrites!”chanted the crowd as police set up barricades outside the embassy in central Tehran, an AFP photographer said.,,Iranians call exiled opposition group the People’s Mujahedeen of Iran (PMOI)”hypocrites,”and Monday’s demonstration was organised to protest against a PMOI rally outside Paris on Saturday

…”The leaders of the MKO/MEK/PMOI terrorist group held a costly protest in Paris and used huge propaganda, asking some (infamous) politicians, who have no place among their own people, to join the crowd as their supporters, in order to declare that they want to continue their presence inside Iraq,”Hassan Kazemi Qomi told Fars News Agency on Monday.”MKO’s recent vain efforts indicated that the group does not hold out much hope,”the Iranian envoy noted …
