\"Belgium-court-Assadollah-Assadi-03122020\"<\/p>\n

Thursday marked the second court hearing for Iran\u2019s jailed diplomat-terrorist in Belgium, Assadollah Assadi, and his three accomplices, Amir Saadouni, Nasimeh Naami, and Mehrdad Arefani, all caught red-handed trying to bomb the opposition rally in 2018 in Paris. The terrorists tacitly accepted the charges, yet desperately tried to downplay them.<\/p>\n

Like the first session of the trial in Antwerp, Belgium, Assadi refused to appear in the court on the orders of his masters in Tehran. Assadi\u2019s lawyer, Dimitri de B\u00e9co, represented him. But other terrorists, Saadouni, his wife Naami, and Arefani, were present.<\/p>\n

In the first session of this trial, the prosecutor and the attorneys of the Iranian Resistance, and dozens of renowned politicians, who had attended the Resistance\u2019s rally<\/a> in June 2018, presented damning evidence of the foiled bombing plot led by Assadi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As for Assadi, his lawyer desperately tried to justify all of Assadi\u2019s crimes by stating that he is a diplomat and enjoys diplomatic immunity. In its indictment, the prosecutor had underlined that according to Belgium\u2019s 2002 legislation, even if Assadi had diplomatic immunity, Belgian authorities could have arrested him. He also stressed that according to the Austrian law, Belgian authorities were able to arrest Assadi because he was planning to commit mass murder, which under international law allows authorities to strip Assadi of his diplomatic immunity and arrest him.<\/p>\n

Yet, under what international law could Assadi use his diplomatic cover to transfer 500 grams of explosives using a commercial airliner, endangering the lives of hundreds of passengers?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the terrorists tried to minimize their role in this operation, yet, like Assadi, tacitly accepted all charges.<\/p>\n

While arrested in possession of 500 grams of highly explosive TATP explosives and a detonator, Saadouni claimed they were not aware the bomb explosion could kill people. He blatantly claimed that with 500 grams of TATP, also known as the \u201cmother of Satan,\u201d there will be minimal to no casualties.<\/p>\n

Five hundred grams of TATP explosives were used in terrorist attacks in Belgium and France in 2016 and 2015, respectively.<\/p>\n

The undeniable evidence did not allow Saadouni\u2019s lawyer to deny his client\u2019s connection with the regime\u2019s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS). Mary admitted Saadouni had been giving information for years to department 312 of the MOIS and even went there, \u201cbut this is not the \u2018terrorist department\u2019 of the Ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the Belgian prosecutors and Federal Police consider Naami as the leader among the couple, her lawyer Johan Platteau tried to downplay her role.<\/p>\n

\u201cNasimeh believes they were acting like fools and became tools of the regime. It was not an explosive package, but fireworks. You might get angry if I say this, but when the bomb exploded, it did not cause any serious damage. This is an issue between Iran and the West in which oil and medical sanctions are part of it. Both Naami and Saadouni are victims of it. Assadi said that he only wanted to scare the MEK. The materials used for the bomb prove to me that Naami and Saadouni\u2019s work was fireworks, and if we compare this with the Brussels bombing, it was not professional at all. Their collaboration with the MOIS was not military, but political,\u201d Platteau claimed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Belgian Neutralization Service of Explosives Devices (DOVO) says the explosive was an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and \u201cvery professional.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, the terrorist couple tried to claim the regime forced them into cooperation and fooled them for eleven years.<\/p>\n

Yet, they always had this choice to reverse course. The prosecutor had previously revealed the couple had received at least 240,000 euros from the regime, and they were committing this crime willingly and knowingly.<\/p>\n

The third terrorist, Arefani, denied all charges. While his conversations with Assadi are recorded, he claimed that the telephone with only one number, which was Assadi\u2019s, was Arefani\u2019s telephone, and the number belongs to his brother. Yet, Arefani had mentioned to the Police that he had not even seen his brother for a long time and did not have good relations with him.<\/p>\n

Arefani had collected photos and videos of the opposition\u2019s local office in Belgium. During the inspection of Arefani\u2019s home, the Police found many images, recordings, and documents about the opposition. He also possessed spy devices such as Camera Spy Glasses and a USB Voice and Audio Recorder.<\/p>\n

Arefani also had vast amounts of money in his account, despite his low salary.<\/p>\n

In a nutshell, all terrorists, including Assadollah Assadi, and their defense team couldn\u2019t deny the pieces of evidence.<\/p>\n

The procedure of this crime and its chain of command from the regime\u2019s highest authorities to Assadi highlight this was an act of state-sponsored terrorism.<\/p>\n

Assadi used his diplomatic cover to transfer a bomb to Europe and lead the operation. The three other terrorists also used their Belgian citizenship and previous refugee status to act as the regime\u2019s sleeper cell. Many of the regime\u2019s terrorists have used Western countries\u2019 privileges for 40 years to carry out their operations.<\/p>\n

As the Iranian Resistance<\/a> has demanded, all the regime\u2019s embassies, which act as nests of spies and terrorists, should be shut down in Europe. The regime\u2019s operatives should be stripped of their citizenship and refugee status and expelled from European countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
