“The thunderous dossier on terrorism that was mounted against the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK), opponents of the Iranian mullahs, in 2002 by Judge Bruguiere, has just been thrown into the trash by his colleague Marc Tr\u00e9vidic,” wrote Le Canard Enchaine, the famous satirical newspaper published weekly in France.<\/p>\n
The \u00a0September 24, 2014 issue of the French weekly described the case as “Nothing. Empty. Wind” adding “Judge Bruguiere, a former master at manufacturing terrorists, had blown everything out of proportion.”<\/p>\n
On June 17, 2003, at 6am, 1,200 police officers and 80 GIGN gendarmes, stormed the offices of the Iranian Resistance and arrested nearly 170 Iranians, 17 charged and 11 detained, including detention of ‘military-related goods’.<\/p>\n
“At the time, on June 25, 2003, The Canard Enchaine noted quakingly that their arsenal included ‘satellite dishes, GPS and computers’,” the weekly wrote.<\/p>\n
“And with wonderful coincidence, France was at the time in the process of renewing a strong relationship with Iran at a friendly dinner with foreign affairs minister Villepin and his Iranian counterpart to discuss large contracts with Total, Alcatel and Renault.
“Were the National Council of Resistance of Iran offered to the mullahs in a diplomatic exchange?<\/p>\n
“Canard Enchaine asked this at the time and noted that France was not in the habit of arresting choirboys, but those who took up arms against a regime that encouraged bloody attacks on French soil in 1986 against its opponents.<\/p>\n
“A month after the raid, everyone was released and house arrests and deportations were suspended by the Administrative Court. It was a fiasco. In 2011, the criminal charges were dismissed. And today, with the movement no longer on the list of terrorist organizations, allegations of financial crimes have also collapsed.<\/p>\n
“From the great raid in Auvers-sur-Oise, only two Iranians were tried and acquitted in 2008 for ‘incitement to suicide’ because they had been in contact with those immolated militants.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
