The anti-Iran terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) is set to hold its annual gathering in Germany as France has refused to grant approval for the meeting.
Every year, the MKO terrorists hold an event in the French town of Villepinte, near Paris, with rent-a-crowd participants.
This year, however, they will hold their gathering in Berlin on June 29.
Reports say France has opposed the event as it plays host to the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris later this year.
The Summer Olympics will kick off in the French capital on July 26. The games will end on August 11 before the Paralympic Games take place on August 28-September 8.
The MKO is responsible for a campaign of bombings and assassinations in Iran. Out of the nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist attacks over the past four decades, about 12,000 have fallen victim to the MKO’s acts of terror.
The notorious terror cult also fought alongside Iraqi forces in the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s war on Iran in the 1980s.
Despite its crimes and killings, the US and the European Union removed the MKO from their lists of terrorist organizations in order to use them as proxies against Iran.
Members of the terrorist group Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization or MKO are standing trial in absentia.
A few years ago, MKO elements were relocated from their Camp Ashraf in Iraq’s Diyala Province to Camp Hurriyet (Camp Liberty), a former US military base in Baghdad, and later sent to Albania.
Iranian officials have condemned the hypocrisy of the US and its European allies in supporting the terrorist group that has Iranian blood on its hands.
