MEK Invalidates Swedish Court

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and his Swedish counterpart Ann Linde held talks on bilateral ties and regional issues, including the situation in Yemen and Afghanistan during their meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.

During the meeting, held on Friday, the Swedish foreign minister referred to the 400-year history of the relations between the two countries. She praised the Iranian expatriates living in Sweden as well-educated and added that she has personally visited Iran.

Linde noted that Sweden seeks expansion of ties with Iran and proposed a meeting of the joint political committee of the two countries to be held in Tehran in the near future.

She also touched on the crisis in Yemen, saying her country is committed to help end the crisis. The top diplomat added that Sweden is in contact with all sides in Yemen and considers consultations with Iran in this regard as essential.

During the meeting, the Iranian foreign minister also said the volume of trade and economic ties between the two countries is currently not at a favorable level. Amirabdollahian called for measures to improve and upgrade trade exchanges between the two countries, including through facilitation of the ties between private sectors, establishment of direct flights and easing of travel between the two countries.

The top diplomat also stressed that the crisis in Yemen does not have any military solution, saying the human crisis should be addressed through lifting of the [Saudi-led] blockade.

He added that the conflict in Yemen is an unequal war in which the people of the country are targeted in acts of cowardice.

During the meeting, Amirabdollahian also mentioned the trial held for an Iranian national in Sweden. He said the MKO terror grouping is behind the fabricated case and the inhuman plot.

The foreign minister stressed that the court should pay attention to the fact that all evidence and allegations presented to the court, are fabricated by a group, which is known to engage in falsification and deceit. He said this demonstrates that the court process lacks validity and is politicized.

During the meeting, the two sides also exchanged views on the Afghan situation and the latest developments in the country.

Iran Blasts Western Countries support for MEK terrorists

Iran’s Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejeyee blasted the western countries allegations about violation of human rights by the Islamic Republic, saying that such claims are disgraceful lies.

Mohseni Ejeyee categorically dismissed the human rights accusations leveled against Iran by some western states and described such a move as disgraceful at a time when the West does not show any respect for human rights.

The Iranian judiciary chief, meantime, referred to the anti-Iran Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO also known as MEK, NCRI or PMOI) terrorist group which is operating against Iran in some western countries with the backing of those governments.

“The hypocrites (MKO members) who assassinated and martyred thousands of innocent people, tortured in the harshest way, and destroyed people’s property, today are welcomed and sheltered by some human rights advocates and even appreciate them while considering the Islamic Republic a violator of human rights.”

In a relevant development last month, Iran’s High Council of Human Rights in a statement on Monday rapped the US and other western states for instrumental use of terrorist groups to attain their colonial goals.

“The systematic support of the US regime and the western governments for terrorists and their affiliate streams across the world is a manifestation of their false claims about fighting terrorism and displays the instrumental use of this capacity to advance their colonial goals,” the Council said in a statement on the occasion of the anniversary of the martyrdom of Iran’s late president Mohammad Ali Rajayee and former prime minister Mohammad Javad Bahonar by the MKO terrorist group.

It added that silence and passivity towards terrorism anywhere in the world and the classifying terrorism into good and bad is the main capacity for the spread of terrorism in all parts of the world, and no government or nation will be safe from its consequences.

The statement lashed out at certain governments and international bodies for their silence on the cruelest crimes against the Iranian nation in the past 4 decades and sheltering the anti-Iran terrorists, and said, “They are the main culprits behind the spread of terrorism in the world.”

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.

The notorious outfit has carried out numerous attacks against Iranian civilians and government officials for several decades.

In 2012, the US State Department removed the MKO from its list of designated terrorist organizations under intense lobbying by groups associated with the Saudi regime and other regimes adversarial to Iran.

A few years ago, MKO members were relocated from their Camp Ashraf in Iraq’s Diyala Province to Camp Hurriyet (Camp Liberty), a former US military base in Baghdad, and were later sent to Albania.

Those members, who have managed to escape, have revealed MKO’s scandalous means of access to money, almost exclusively coming from Riyadh.

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.

The terrorist organization said it would “welcome” their assassination, adding that it desired for the ranking officials to “join” Asadollah Lajevardi, Tehran’s former chief prosecutor, and Ali Sayyad-Shirazi, a former commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Forces during Iraq’s 1980-88 war against Iran.

Earlier in June 2019, 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.

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’s cyber operations, is heard talking with a US-based MKO sympathizer named Daei-ul-Eslam in Persian, IFP news reported.

In this conversation, the two elements discuss the MKO’s 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.

“In the past week, we did our best to blame the [Iranian] regime for the (oil tanker) blasts. Saudis have called Sister Maryam (Rajavi)’s office to follow up on the results, [to get] a conclusion of what has been done, and the possible consequences,” Fakhteh is heard saying.

“I 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,” Daei-ul-Eslam says.

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’s 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.

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 that caught fire earlier this month.

It later released some images of the purported Iranian operation after the video was seriously challenged by experts and Washington’s own allies.

The MKO which is said to be a cult that 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.

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.

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.

Swedish Courts, Where MEK Terrorists Are Witnesses

Habilian Association that protects families of terrorism victims in Iran called for legal prosecution of crimes committed by People’s Mujahedin Organization (MEK), known as Monafiqeen (hypocrites) in Iran.

Mohammad Javad Hasheminejad, Secretary General of Habilian Association, said in an interview with IRNA that several legal entities and communities outside Iran have acknowledged the terrorist nature of crimes committed by the MEK.

However, different administrations in Iran have failed to actively prosecute and follow up the terrorist group legally and realize the rights of families of terrorism victims, according to Hasheminejad.

He also said that the fact that the US and European Union had recognized the MEK as a terrorist group for years indicated that even Western countries admitted the terrorist essence of their crimes.

Pointing to the significant number of 17,000 people martyred in terrorist attacks in Iran, the secretary general said that the new administration should take the demands of families serious.

If Iran falls short of expressing the reality of these crimes and hold the perpetrators accountable, the committers who are now protected by some governments will present a reverse narrative of the realities taken place during the past decades, he insisted.

Hasheminejad also referred to the trial of an Iranian citizen in a Swedish court, saying that such trials are aimed at putting the victim in the place of the executioner.

He noted that some people who have attended the Swedish court as witnesses were accused of crime and massacre of Iranians and Iran should hold European countries accountable in this regard.

Habilian Association is an Iranian Human Rights NGO established in 2005 with the aim of elucidating the fact that Iran is one of the biggest victims of terrorism.

Iran Blasts Swedish Court for Yielding to Terrorist MKO’s Plot

Iran’s foreign ministry rapped the Swedish court’s trial of an Iranian national for the “fabricated” documents provided by the anti-Iran Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO also known as MEK, NCRI or PMOI) terrorist group.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh condemned the trial of Iranian citizen, Hamid Nouri, in a Swedish court.

“What is going on in Sweden is a plot designed by the Monafeqin (the hypocrites as the MKO members are called in Iran). Unfortunately, the Swedish court has paid attention to a series of fabricated stories, documents and testimonies, all by one group,” he told reporters on Monday.

Khatibzadeh further recalled that the MKO was responsible for shedding the blood of 17,000 Iranian citizens, and expressed regret over the holding of the tribunal in Sweden.

He further noted that the tribunal in Sweden is taking place at a time when a new administration is coming to power in Iran with the aim of putting pressure on the Iranian officials.

Khatibzadeh also stressed that Iran will use all diplomatic means to protect Hamid Nouri’s rights.

“What matters is that the Swedish court and the Swedish government should know that they have become part of a propaganda campaign led by the Monafeqin, and this is disgraceful for this state,” he underlined.

West Seeking to Purge MEK: Iran Envoy

In response to a Newsweek article, the Iranian Mission Counselor at the UN Office in Geneva said that MKO terrorist group still retains its terrorist nature but the West is trying to purge this terrorist group.

On the occasion of organizing a meeting of Mojahedin-e Khalq terrorist organization (MKO also known as MEK) held on July 10, 2021, in a report written by DAVID BRENNA, by examining the background and performance of MKO terrorist group, he tried to respond to the accusations raised against MKO through the elements affiliated with the group.

In this regard, the Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Geneva sent a statement to Newsweek, emphasizing that the MKO terrorist group continues to maintain its terrorist nature and has collaborated with the Zionist regime in assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists.

Bahram Heidari, the Counselor of Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Geneva pointed to the meeting of the MKO terrorist group held on July 10 and said that it shows the depth of American political and moral decline of the opposition of the Islamic Republic of Iran which is deceived by such hated terrorist group who committed heinous terrorist crimes such as assassination, bombing, and sabotage in a way that this terrorist group has claimed lives of thousands of Iranian people.

He went on to say that MKO terrorists have maintained their terrorist nature and have continued to carry out assassinations inside Iran, including the assassination of Iranian scientists in collusion with the Israeli regime.

However, the United States and European Union have tried to ignore and purify the terrorist nature of this terrorist sect and use it as leverage against Iran, he emphasized.

Heidari also rejected the accusations against Assadollah Asadi, an Iranian diplomat imprisoned in Belgium, calling the accusations far from the truth.

He called the accusations raised against Asadi a conspiracy hatched by MKO terrorist group.

Reasons behind MEK’s lack of social base in Iran

The Mujahedin’e Khalq propagate to have the support of the Iranian people, however all Iranians with different political views do share the same idea on the group: They simply hate them.
The group’s terrorist activities from the beginning of its formation and killing innocent people seems to be enough reasons behind their hatred towards the cult-like group. The MEK is also untrustworthy after alliance with Saddam Hussein during Iran-Iraq War. The power-thirsty MEK leaders’ claims of commitment to democracy and human rights got unreliable as they served as mercenaries in line with the US attempts to harm people through sanctions and economic and political terrorism.

Meeting of MKO is disgrace to American politicians: Spox

Hypocritical American Politicians Joined Terrorists In Albania For A Fee

Iran’s government spokesman, Ali Rabiei said that the gathering of the MKO (Mojahedin-e-Khalq) terrorist group was an opportunity to identify and expose hypocritical American politicians who, despite repeated slogans, have not paid little attention to the principles and history of terrorism and human rights abuses in other countries.

Iran Press/ Iran news: In his weekly press conference, Ali Rabiei, in response to the question of Iran Press regarding the participation of some American and European officials in the meeting of the MKO terrorist group, has noted that Iran does not expect those who in recent years have planned and supported sanctions, war, and terrorism against the Iranian people in the name of “maximum pressure policy” to separate themselves from the MKO terrorist group.

Iran’s government spokesman highlighted that it was a shame for the United States and Europe that the infamous former Secretary of State and several other US and European officials are supporting the notorious terrorist group for a handful of dollars.

Pointing out that the meetings of the MKO are a show of malice against the Iranian nation, Rabiei stated that in such a situation, some American and European officials stand by the bankrupt terrorists and perpetrators of the massacre of thousands of innocent Iranians, and are shamelessly proud of these crimes.

He emphasized that those who brazenly stood by the terrorists had no competence to speak of the most basic principles of human rights, and pretend to be peace-loving and benevolent to the Iranian people, and other free people in the world.

Slovenia’s Envoy to Iran Summoned over PM’s Participation in MKO-Arranged Event

Iran’s Foreign Ministry summoned the ambassador of Slovenia to Tehran to voice protest at the Slovenian prime minister’s participation in an anti-Iran virtual gathering organized by the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) terrorist group.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran said on Sunday that Slovenian Ambassador Christina Radi has been summoned to the ministry to receive an official letter of protest in response to the Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa’s “unacceptable and undiplomatic” move to take part in a virtual gathering arranged by the MKO terrorist group.

In the meeting with the Slovenian envoy, the Iranian foreign minister’s assistant and director-general of the Foreign Ministry’s department of the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe expressed the Islamic Republic’s “strong protest at the baseless allegations raised against Iran” by handing the letter of protest to the ambassador, it said.

The envoy was notified that the Slovenian premier’s participation in an event organized by a terrorist group that is abhorred by the great Iranian nation as well as his wrong and groundless remarks run counter to the diplomatic norms and to the spirit of the bilateral relations and are totally condemned, the statement added.

The ambassador of Slovenia has been also reminded that supporting a terrorist group is in violation of the UN Charter, the internationally-recognized principles, and the human rights values, and are not acceptable by any means.

The government of Slovenia has been asked to provide an explanation for the anti-Iranian move, the statement added, noting that the envoy has pledged that she would convey Tehran’s protest to Ljubljana.

Slovenian Prime Minister Jansa and former US state secretary Mike Pompeo were among speakers at a gathering of the MKO terrorist group, held in Berlin on Saturday.

The MKO -listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community- fled Iran in 1986 for Iraq and was given a camp by former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

They fought on the side of Saddam during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-88). They were also involved in the bloody repression of Shiite Muslims in southern Iraq in 1991 and the massacre of Iraqi Kurds.

The notorious group is also responsible for killing thousands of Iranian civilians and officials after the victory of the Islamic revolution in 1979.

More than 17,000 Iranians, many of them civilians, have been killed at the hands of the MKO in different acts of terrorism including bombings in public places, and targeted killings.

Spokesman Derides Anti-Iran Circus in Europe Arranged by MKO Terrorists

The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry lashed out at certain Western politicians, including former US state secretary Mike Pompeo, for selling themselves cheap for a Europe-hosted circus organized by the Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) terrorist group.

In a post on his Twitter account on Saturday, Saeed Khatibzadeh denounced the anti-Iran gathering in Europe as an example of shameful Western hypocrisy.

The spokesman said the “bought Western politicians”, including Mike Pompeo who was proud of lying, cheating, and stealing, “sell themselves cheap for a Europe-hosted circus arranged by a once Saddam-backed terrorist cult with Iranian blood on its hands.”

“Insatiable thirst for $$ & anti-Iran obsession is driving shameful western hypocrisy,” Khatibzadeh added.

Pompeo and Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa were among speakers at a gathering of the MKO terrorist group, held in Berlin on Saturday.

The MKO -listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community- fled Iran in 1986 for Iraq and was given a camp by former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

The MEK admitted responsibility over IRP bombing attack

The spokesman of Iran’s government called the martyrdom of the then Chief Justice of Iran, Ayatollah Seyyed Mohammas Hossein Beheshti, a symbol of the assassination of justice and the chemical bombardment of Sardasht as a symbol of the assassination of security.

Iran Press/ Iran news: In his weekly presser on Tuesday, Ali Rabiei said: “In the last four decades, the enemies of Iran have launched a large-scale offensive to assassinate the three fundamental valuable principles; justice, security, and freedom of our nation.”

Rabiei called the assassination of martyr Beheshti a symbol of the assassination of justice.

His remarks were on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of a deadly attack by the anti-Iran Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) terrorist group, which killed some Iranian officials, including the then-head of Supreme Judicial Council Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti.

On June 28, 1981, a powerful bomb exploded at Iran’s Islamic Republican Party (IRP) headquarters, where the party’s leaders held a meeting.

the MEK bombed the headquarters of the Islamic Republic Party in 1981

The bombing killed scores of Iranian officials, including Ayatollah Beheshti.

The MKO has admitted to having carried out the attack.

In a meeting with General Taher Haboush (Saddam’s intelligence chief) in 1999, the then-head of MKO Masoud Rajavi said: “As you know, I was in Paris from 1981 to 1986. We were not called terrorists in those years. Although they knew who had blown up the Republican Party in Iran … they knew who and what political process killed the president and prime minister of the regime while we were in contact with both the White House and the Elysee Palace. They knew well, but they did not call us terrorists at all.”

The MKO has made numerous terrorist attacks against Iranian civilians and government officials since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979. Out of the nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist attacks over the past four decades, about 12,000 have fallen victim to the terrorist group’s acts of terror.
Washington and the European Union have removed the MKO from their lists of terrorist organizations. The anti-Iran terrorists enjoy the freedom of activity in the US and Europe and even hold meetings with officials from the US and EU.

Chemical bombing of Sardasht

Commemorating the anniversary of the chemical bombing of Sardasht, the spokesman of Iran’s government called the event a symbol of the assassination of security, saying that it was not limited to it and continued with the support of terrorist groups inside and outside Iran against the security of this nation, and with the cowardly assassination of Martyr Lt. Gen. Qasem Soleimani, they made yet another symbol of it.

The chemical attack took place on June 28, 1987, in the northwestern province of West Azarbaijan. The Iraqi warplanes dropped chemical bombs on four residential areas, which resulted in the killing of over 100 citizens and injury of 8000.

Iran’s top official explained further to call economic sanctions a symbol of the assassination of the third valuable principle: freedom, which means freedom from poverty and freedom from fear of losing the right to an honorable and dignified life.

“Of course, we have never surrendered to these evil forces of terrorism and the malicious intentions behind it, and we have no intention of surrendering,” highlighted Rabiei.

The government spokesman said: “Today, those Western nations who have granted asylum to the perpetrators of the assassination of Martyr Beheshti and other martyrs of that terrorist incident, and by supporting Saddam Hussein and equipping him with chemical weapons, must apologize to the Iranian people and answer for these crimes.”
Furthermore, in recent years, he said that by imposing inhumane sanctions which have endangered the livelihoods of millions of innocent Iranian citizens.

“However, today, we see that not only are they not remorseful, but they still insist on continuing economic sanctions and unjustly harassing our people,” the spokesman added.

He stated: “This dark background is enough to understand the roots of Iran’s distrust of the West, especially the United States.”

Rabiei added: “On the anniversary of the martyrdom of Martyr Beheshti and the chemical attack on Sardasht and the martyrdom of hundreds of other innocent people, we urge all Western governments, especially the US government, to reconsider past wrongdoing and make up for it, which at its starting point is only to end sanctions against our people’s economy. We call on them to take a step in the right direction to end the forty years of fruitless terror of freedom, liberty, and independence of a proud nation.”
