Participants in the rally called on international bodies across the world, specially the Red Cross, to condemn mullahs’ meddling in Iraq.
On Saturday, July 21, terrorists dispatched by the clerical regime blew up for the second time the water pipelines from the Tigris River to Ashraf City where thousands of PMOI members have been residing for some 20 years.
The clerical regime and its agents have taken recent remarks attributed to a number of Iraqi officials against the PMOI as a green light for their terrorist attacks. In August 2005, only two days after an Iraqi official lashed out at the Mojahedin, two of the PMOI’s members, Hossein Pouyan and Mohammad-Ali Zahedi, were abducted in Baghdad.
The bombing of the pipelines, in the 50-degree heat of summer, is an abhorrent, cowardly, inhumane and anti-Islamic act as well as a war crime under the Geneva Conventions.
The rally also called on Iraqi authorities to reaffirm political status of the PMOI members in Iraq. A delegation representing the protesters delivered a letter to the head of the Red Cross in Houston, Mr. Davis Henderson, raising their demands with the international body.
