Mohammad Beit Salem was only 7 years old when he was injured in a mortar attack by the terrorists of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK/ PMOI/ Cult of Rajavi).
Mohammad is from an Arab family living in Ahvaz, Khuzestan, Iran. He and his family were all on a motorbike when they were attacked by the MEK agents on November 29th, 1999 in front of the faculty of literature of Ahvaz university, near the Fifth Bridge. The attack left the parents and their two young sons disabled for life.
Beit Salem family, who were civilians, were shocked by the mortar attack of the MEK. At first, they had no idea of who the MEK are. They were injured while where they did not know what was going on. But after the MEK claimed responsibility for the attack in their media, the family recognized the group as a terrorist entity.
The Beit Salems family filed a legal case against the MEK in a court in Paris, France some years ago. Now considering the trial court for the leaders of the group in Tehran judiciary, the way has been opened for the presence of the families who were harmed by the terrorist Cult of Rajavi, in the court.
Mohammad Bayt Salem was born on February 24, 1992. In the court, he testified about the terror act against his family: “It was on November 29th, 1999, when we were riding a motorcycle with my father, mother and little brother towards the Naderi market of Ahvaz, when on the way near the fifth bridge, several mortars exploded around us, one of which was very close to us hit all members of my family and injured us. My father, my mother, myself and my younger brother Reza are respectively 60 percent, 40 percent, 50 percent and 30 percent, injured. My brother Reza was 4 years old at that time.”
When in 2009 the European Union delisted the MEK from its list of terrorist organizations, Mohammad’s father, Abdunabi Beit Salem, a worker, wrote a protest letter to the Union and ironically asked the authorities to put him and his family on the terror list “so that the system will be completed”
