\"Iran-rally-Brussels-Vienna-16122020\"<\/p>\n

Supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>) and members of the Iranian diaspora in Europe held a rally today in Vienna, and Brussels. They protested the supposed meeting of the Iranian regime\u2019s Foreign Ministry with the Joint Commission of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on December 16.<\/p>\n

The meeting normally takes place in Palais Coburg in Vienna. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year\u2019s meeting will be held virtually. Nevertheless, Iranians staged a protest.<\/p>\n

“The important thing is that the idea of mending fences with a terrorist regime is still there. Individuals don’t count, the nature of this regime is terrorist, and it is a bad idea to deal with terrorists,” the protesters highlighted.<\/p>\n

This meeting comes in the wake of the recent trial of Iran\u2019s incarcerated diplomat-terrorist Assadollah Assadi<\/a>, who is the third secretary at the regime\u2019s embassy in Vienna. Assadi acted on the direct orders of the regime\u2019s officials, particularly Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif<\/a>, who facilitated Assadi\u2019s attempt to bomb the opposition rally<\/a> in 2018 in Paris. Prosecutors at the court in Antwerp, Belgium, where Assadi and his three accomplices went on trial, have demanded a 20-year sentence for Assadi.<\/p>\n

While underlining the regime\u2019s foiled bomb plot in 2018 and Assadi\u2019s role, demonstrators demanded European countries shut down the Iranian regime\u2019s embassies across Europe and expel the mullahs\u2019 agents from the European Union member states.<\/p>\n

Participants in Wednesday\u2019s rally also underlined the Iranian regime’s violations of the JCPOA, the military dimensions of its nuclear program, keeping nuclear sites secret, its ballistic missiles program, its behavior as the leading state-sponsor of terrorism, particularly in Europe, and its blatant violations of human rights in Iran.<\/p>\n
