Joint statement of German prominent figures: Relocation of PMOI members from Iraq, a great victory for Iranian resistance

German-400

NCRI – A number of German prominent figures have in a joint statement described the relocation of People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI or MEK) members from Iraq to Europe as a great achievement for Iranian resistance, congratulating it to Mrs. Maryam Rajavi and all members and supporters of PMOI (MEK).

Parts of this statement are as follows:

The relocation of Iranian opposition members from Iraq was successfully carried out. Thus, a long-term concern turned into a great joy for all those who never lost their hope and continued to resist by standing on their positions and providing aid measures.

Following the US invasion of Iraq, the Iranian regime repeatedly attempted to eradicate PMOI (MEK). Three massacres in Camp Ashraf, five missile attacks to Camp Liberty, and an 8-year-old siege took lives of 168 of these opponents.

The Iranian regime has in no time been happy about the withdrawal of PMOI (MEK) members from Iraq and it is essential that Mrs. Maryam Rajavi be extremely praised as she tirelessly led this relocation process with great effort and promoted it to the level of a global humanitarian movement.

Many prominent figures from Germany, Europe, America and the Arab world supported Mrs. Rajavi in her initiative. This solidarity and cooperation, turned into an unbelievable political protection shield for relocating PMOI (MEK) members.

The main portion of this success belongs to the very own members and numerous fans of the PMOI (MEK).

Our efforts and humanitarian aids should and will continue while PMOI (MEK) members are more motivated than ever to achieve their main goal, namely a free and democratic Iran.
