Maryam Rajavi expressed her condolences

on the passing of Col. Behzad Mo’ezzi

Condolences on the passing of courageous pilot Col. Behzad Mo’ezzi after 42 years of steadfast struggle against the mullahs’ religious tyranny. He was a brilliant model of drawing the lines with the Shah and the mullahs.

I extend my sincere condolences on the loss of the great Mojahed pilot, Col. Behzad Mo’ezzi, member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, to the NCRI President and members, to PMOI members and to the patriotic personnel of the Army.

I would like to underline Col. Mo’ezzi’s historic role as the standard bearer of the patriotic personnel of the Iranian Air Force who opposed both the Shah and the mullahs.

Col. Behzad Mo’ezzi was the most prominent Iranian pilot and member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. I extend my condolences and deepest sympathies to his family and relatives, and particularly to his daughter, Sara, and son, Amir, in Paris.

Maryam Rajavi expressed her condolences on the passing of Col. Behzad Mo’ezzi

Condolences on the passing of courageous pilot Col. Behzad Mo’ezzi after 42 years of steadfast struggle against the mullahs’ religious tyranny. He was a brilliant model of drawing the lines with the Shah and the mullahs.

I extend my sincere condolences on the loss of the great Mojahed pilot, Col. Behzad Mo’ezzi, member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, to the NCRI President and members, to PMOI members and to the patriotic personnel of the Army.

I would like to underline Col. Mo’ezzi’s historic role as the standard bearer of the patriotic personnel of the Iranian Air Force who opposed both the Shah and the mullahs.

Col. Behzad Mo’ezzi was the most prominent Iranian pilot and member of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. I extend my condolences and deepest sympathies to his family and relatives, and particularly to his daughter, Sara, and son, Amir, in Paris.
