NCRI - On Tuesday five prisoners have been transferred from Gohardasht Prison in suburban Tehran to the notorious Evin Prison to face gallows soon.

Among the transferees are at least three youngsters who were minors at the time of the alleged crimes. The prison's warden has isolated the cell block in which the death row inmates are held. The prisoners therefore have no access to the outside world since the phone lines to the block are not operating.

Amir Taheri's assessment of the People's Mujahedeen of Iran (MEK [PMOI]) ultimately undermines his own argument for retaining the group on the U.S. list of foreign terrorist organizations ("Iran's Troubling Opposition," June 26).

The day will come when the exhilarating dawn of freedom will embrace the lives of the Iranian people: Freedom of expression, freedom of belief, freedom of religion, freedom of the press and freedom of clothing.

The day will come when life in the hell the mullahs have created will give way to life in a democratic society, so that everyone would have the right to part take in decisions about the most important political affairs of society; And, when the right to change the government is respected.

I caution that any effort to support the maintaining of the PMOI [the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK)] on the EU terrorist list amounts to a despicable scandal for French policy and is contrary to France's international obligations in the fight against terrorism and fundamentalism, particularly since in two days France will assume the rotating presidency of the European Union.
