Iran slams EP for hosting MKO terror cult leader

Iran slams EP for hosting MKO terror cult leader
The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry lambasted the European Parliament for hosting the ringleader of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) that has murdered over 17,000 citizens.

Despite EP human rights slogans, it's regrettable some of its members turn blind eyes to the dark record of those who killed over 17,000 Iranian kids, women, men statesmen & MPs, hosting ringleader of terror outfit MEK, Nasser Kanaani said in a post on his Twitter account on Tuesday.

What does Human Rights have to do with supporting terrorists? the Iranian spokesman asked.

On May 24, Maryam Rajavi, the notorious ringleader of the MKO terrorist cult, attended a meeting in the European Parliament titled Perspective of Change and European Union Policy.

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.
