Friday, 13 July 2007

NCRI - President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi welcomed the unanimous adoption of the resolution by the European Parliament emphasizing on the legal right of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) members in their twenty years presence as political refugees in Iraq and their current status as “protected persons” under the Fourth Geneva Convention.

Mrs. Rajavi said that the European Parliament’s call on the Iraqi government to respect the rights of PMOI members in Ashraf city in Iraq, according to international laws, and denouncing the cutting off supplies of fuel and drinking water made by some senior officials in the Iraqi Government against 4000 members of the Iranian opposition who have been political refugees in Iraq for the past two decades, is a sign of international conscience as well as opposition to the Iranian regime’s criminal avarice in Iraq.

Mrs. Rajavi expressed her appreciation to the members of European Parliament for their concern and understanding in standing by the Iranian people in this campaign against ruling religious fascism in Iran.
