<\/p>\nFamilies of terror victims in Iran asked global institutions affiliated to the European Union to launch legal proceedings against the Mojahedin-e Khaq Organization (MKO, also known as MEK, PMOI and NCRI) for terrorist operations that have claimed the lives of thousands of Iranian civilians.<\/p>\n
Families of Iranian victims of terrorism wrote an open letter addressing the EU officials to take legal proceedings against Mujahedin-e Khalq terrorist group, after the group\u2019s ringleader Massoud Rajavi reportedly ordered his terror cells to intensify their anti-Iran acts.<\/p>\n
A recent statement attributed to Masoud Rajavi, presumably dead, invited top Iranian leaders to attend an international court case with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are the families of the victims of assassinations and violence of the terrorist group Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization who lost our children, parents and grandparents in targeted and blind operations of this group,\u201d the letter read according to Habilian Association, an Iranian human rights NGO.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe families of terror victims in Iran call on all international officials and institutions in the European Union to, along with restricting the activities of this group in Europe, prosecute the leaders of this terrorist group in an international court with the presence of their victims,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n
The letter noted that Rajavi\u2019s order depicts a \u201cviolent strategy\u201d toward the judicial process and the court hearing on March 8 and 9, 2021, during which a number of former members filed a complaint about years of torture and violation of human rights by the terrorist outfit.<\/p>\n
They said the MKO\u2019s recent activities proved that it is still a \u201cmilitant cult\u201d and too far to be an \u201copposition group,\u201d citing Rajavi\u2019s recent order to the terror cells to identify Iranian citizens working in judicial and military institutions and \u201cexecute justice on them.\u201d<\/p>\n
They declared their full readiness to cooperate in this process by providing necessary documents to the responsible institutions.<\/p>\n
The MKO is listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community. Its members fled Iran in 1986 for Iraq, where they received support from then dictator Saddam Hussein.<\/p>\n
The notorious outfit has carried out numerous attacks against Iranian civilians and government officials for several decades.<\/p>\n
In 2012, the US State Department removed the MKO from its list of designated terrorist organizations under intense lobbying by groups associated to Saudi regime and other regimes adversarial to Iran.<\/p>\n
A few years ago, MKO members were relocated from their Camp Ashraf in Iraq\u2019s Diyala Province to Camp Hurriyet (Camp Liberty), a former US military base in Baghdad, and were later sent to Albania.<\/p>\n
Those members, who have managed to escape, have revealed MKO’s scandalous means of access to money, almost exclusively coming from Riyadh.<\/p>\n
The MKO terrorist group specified the targets as martyred Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, who commanded the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), and Iranian Judiciary Chief Seyed Ebrahim Rayeesi.<\/p>\n
The terrorist organization said it would \u201cwelcome\u201d their assassination, adding that it desired for the ranking officials to \u201cjoin\u201d Asadollah Lajevardi, Tehran\u2019s former chief prosecutor, and Ali Sayyad-Shirazi, a former commander of the Iranian Army\u2019s Ground Forces during Iraq\u2019s 1980-88 war against Iran.<\/p>\n
Earlier in June 2019, a leaked audio of a phone conversation between two members of MKO, revealed Saudi regime has colluded with the MKO elements to frame Iran for the tanker attacks in the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n
In the audio, which is being released by the Iran Front Page for the first time, Shahram Fakhteh, an official member and the person in charge of MKO\u2019s cyber operations, is heard talking with a US-based MKO sympathizer named Daei-ul-Eslam in Persian, IFP news reported.<\/p>\n
In this conversation, the two elements discuss the MKO\u2019s efforts to introduce Iran as the culprit behind the tanker attacks in the Persian Gulf, and how the Saudis contacted them to pursue the issue.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the past week we did our best to blame the [Iranian] regime for the (oil tanker) blasts. Saudis have called Sister Maryam (Rajavi)\u2019s office to follow up on the results, [to get] a conclusion of what has been done, and the possible consequences,\u201d Fakhteh is heard saying.<\/p>\n
\u201cI guess this can have different consequences. It can send the case to the UN Security Council or even result in military intervention. It can have any consequence,\u201d Daei-ul-Eslam says.<\/p>\n
Attacks on two commercial oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman on June 13, 2019 and an earlier attack on four oil tankers off the UAE\u2019s Fujairah port on May 12, 2019, have escalated tensions in West Asia and raised the prospect of a military confrontation between Iran and the United States.<\/p>\n
The US, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE have rushed to blame Iran for the incidents, with the US military releasing a grainy video it claimed shows Iranian forces in a patrol boat removing an unexploded mine from the side of a Japanese-owned tanker which caught fire earlier this month.<\/p>\n
It later released some images of the purported Iranian operation after the video was seriously challenged by experts and Washington\u2019s own allies.<\/p>\n
The MKO which is said to be a cult which turns humans into obedient robots, turned against Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and has carried out several terrorist attacks killing senior officials in Iran; yet the West which says cultism is wrong and claims to be against terrorism, supports this terrorist group officially.<\/p>\n
After the Islamic Revolution in 1979, the MKO began its enmity against Iran by killing over 17,000 Iranians and terrorist activities. Several members of the terrorist group and its leaders are living in France now, freely conducting terrorist activities.<\/p>\n
The MKO terrorist group has martyred 17,161 Iranian citizens, including late president Mohammad Ali Rajayee, former prime minister Mohammad Javad Bahonar, late Head of Supreme Judicial Council Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti, late Deputy Chief of the Iranian Armed Forces General Staff Ali Sayyad Shirazi, and 27 legislators, as well as four nuclear scientists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
