VO news, September 24 – Elected representatives of Val-d'Oise support the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), opponents of the Iranian mullahs.
They live in exile in Auvers-sur-Oise since 1981 and they expect Europe to withdraw their organization, PMOI, from its list of terrorist organizations. Sixty mayors from Val-d'Oise said that they support the Mojahedin, in Auvers-sur-Oise.
Christophe Aubry was the mayor of Auvers-sur-Oise before Jean-Pierre Bequet. Sixty mayors of Val-d'Oise support the PMOI, main opposition to the regime to the mullahs in Tehran. All are demanding the withdrawal of the Iranian Resistance from the list of terrorist organizations of the European Union.
Dominique Lefebvre, mayor of Cergy said, "The rule of law in France and Europe today is that there is no serious legal reason to include the PMOI in the list of international terrorist organizations.
We are dealing with blackmail from Iran. People in the West have learned never to give in to such blackmail."
The PMOI has been blacklisted since 2002. In the UK, the organization is no longer regarded as terrorist and recently nearly 300 French MPs signed a declaration for democratic change in Iran. The Mojahedin called on France as the European Union's rotary president to help with delisting the organization.
Dr. Saleh Rajavi, The National Council Resistance of Iran's representative in France said, "The mullahs' regime made a mockery of the European Union while continuing its nuclear activities, imposing repression, not only in Iran but throughout the Middle East and continuing export of Islamic fundamentalism."
Brussels will review its list in December. Last July Nicolas Sarkozy, current president of the EU, had kept the Mojahedin on the list of terrorist organizations.
