NCRI, October 8 - In a conference on Islamic fundamentalism in London on October 5, Ayatollah Jalal Gangei, Chair of the Religious Tolerance Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran addressed the issue as an authority on Islam. He dealt with the issue from three angles as it follows:  

 

NCRI, October 7 - Dozens of supporters of the Iranian Resistance in Copenhagen and Oslo gathered in front of the embassies of the Russian Federation and South Africa to call for these countries’ support of mullahs’ nuclear file referral to the UN Security Council.

In Oslo gathering Mr. Parviz Khazai, NCRI representative to Nordic countries, reminded these countries of their dark days before they gained their freedom and democracy. He particularly spoke of the support given to the people of South Africa by Iranians in their struggle against apartheid and said: “Fundamentalism is a global threat and a nuclear weapon in the hands of Iranian regime, the God father of international terrorism and fundamentalism, will seriously threaten peace and security in the world.”

NCRI, October 7 – World is now facing a growing threat from the Islamic fundamentalism which requires an in-depth study. Ayatollah Jalal Ganjei, chair of the NCRI committee on religious freedom together with other experts addressed this issue in a conference on October 5 in London’s Foreign Press Association.

Daily Telegraph, October 7 - Considering that eight British soldiers have lost their lives in Iraq this summer, the Government's reaction was bizarre. Instead of the Prime Minister or a member of his Cabinet standing up and pointing the finger of blame, it was left initially to an unnamed senior official.

In a letter to the European Union's foreign policy chief Javier Solana,  NCRI's Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman, Mohammad Mohaddessin, expressed concern over the deteriorating situation of human rights in Iran, Tehran's continuing drive to obtain nuclear weapons and its increasing meddling in Iraq.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES, October 6 - The Bush administration yesterday expressed concern about the role of Iran's military in the country's nuclear programs, saying it raised fresh fears that Tehran is seeking nuclear weapons.

Financial Times, October 6 - Rarely have British officials been so outspoken in criticising Iran. London has always been cautious in linking Tehran with the insurgency that has dogged efforts to rebuild Iraq after the US-led invasion. Yesterday, though, just days ahead of a crucial vote on the country's new constitution, something snapped.

The warning to Tehran that it stop interfering in its neighbour's affairs reflects long-standing western concern that elements of the Iranian regime have been in contact with Sunni insurgents and a faction of a radical Shia group.

Agence France Presse, October 5 - The uncompromising stance of Iran's new hardline authorities in a stand-off over Islamic republic's nuclear programme is worrying some Iranian officials and leading to overt criticism.

Reuters, OTTAWA - Canada will put forward a resolution at the United Nations for the third year in a row accusing Iran of human rights violations, Foreign Minister Pierre Pettigrew said on Wednesday.

"Iran has not lived up to its international human rights obligations and has not conformed with past U.N. resolutions on this matter. We believe this must change," Pettigrew said.
