In protest against western support for proscribed terrorists in EU Majlis speaker cancels speech at European Parliament<\/p>\n
Majlis Speaker Gholam-Ali Haddad-Adel has canceled an scheduled visit to Strasbourg, France, where he was to address the European Parliament on Thursday. The decision was made in protest to”the dual behavior”of EP officials.<\/p>\n
The speaker’s decision was made after it was reported that a number of EP officials have recently met with the leader of the terrorist Mujahideen Khalq Organization (MKO).<\/p>\n
Haddad-Adel’s visit was due to take place upon an invitation extended by head of European Parliament Council.<\/p>\n
He was to address the Council of Europe Parliament as rotating chairman of the Asian Parliamentary Assembly (APA).<\/p>\n
The speaker was to talk about Asia’s specific status at the international community and the significant efforts which are underway to promote the continent’s role in international<\/p>\n
developments.<\/p>\n
Haddad-Adel called on the APA president to voice the speaker’s strong protests to EP officials for their”dual behavior in their alleged fight against terrorism.”<\/p>\n
The MKO is enlisted by the EU as a terrorist group and its leader is under prosecution by the INTERPOL for the crimes committed by the MKO members in Iraq and Iran.<\/p>\n
