The criminal Chief of the mullahs’ Judiciary, who is terrified of MEK’s popular support at home and on the international stage, reiterated, “Today’s youth do not realize who Mujahedin-e Khalq are. Because they’ve been presenting themselves respectably in Europe.” He added, “Sadly, the question is why after they were blacklisted in Europe and the United States, they were removed from the list due to political expediency, and now they are cooperating with them and sheltering them. We should get to know the hypocrites (MEK), just like the Imam had known them well.”
On June 1, 2020, the former criminal prosecutor and member of the regime’s Supreme Judicial Council during the 1988 massacre, Morteza Moghtadai, told the state TV, “There were many attacks at that time and they bragged about it a lot, saying why so many [MEK supporters] have been executed… An important point is that I don’t want to name the gentleman who was one of the religious icons and was our neighbor … He advised me to refrain from continuing the ongoing imprisonments and executions. I said God forbid; we obey the Imam [Khomeini’s] orders. … He said, yes say no to Imam! It’s not feasible to say no, tell him it’s not to our benefit to do so… I said I swear to the God, the Imam himself said to continue resolutely, [Imam said to execute] even those hypocrites [MEK supporters] that are firm in their beliefs, and if they are released from prison today, tomorrow they will carry on with their explosions. This was Imam’s instructions to us, and we acted according to his decision.”
The statements of the regime’s Judiciary Chief and its former prosecutor are clear admissions to their active participation in the crimes against humanity. They must be prosecuted and punished.
