IRNA - A prominent law expert from Geneva's Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies urged Canada to be aware of its senior officials' connection with anti-Iran terrorist Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO).
#Canada should seriously investigate the scope and nature of @stephenharper [Canada's 22nd Prime Minister Stephen Harper] and @Baird's [Former Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird] relationship with the #MEK [MKO] cult during their tenure as Prime and Foreign ministers, Reza Nasri wrote in his Twitter account.
邸stephenharper also spoke at the event, which lets presume that his irrational hostile policies toward #Iran (namely the closure of embassies and the de-listing of #MEK from terror list) were not predicted upon #Canada's national interests as claimed, but upon lobby influence, he added.
Meanwhile, Sanam Shantyaei, Journalist at France 24, wrote in her twitter account that 迭udy Giuliani [Former Mayor of New York City ] & Newt Gingrich [Former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives ] are speaking at the #MEK rally in Paris this Saturday. This is a cult-like group with a known terrorist past & a long list of well-paid supporters, reportedly including John Bolton. According to a US official, they offer between $20k-30k for speeches.
Earlier a senior Iranian lawmaker criticized the European countries for hosting the anti-Iran terrorist MKO and its meetings.
It is expected that the European Parliament clarify the terrorist identity of MKO for the EP members, Iranian chairman of Iran-EP Parliamentary Relations Group Kazem Jalali said in a letter to Janusz Lewandowski, the European Chairman of the group.
Jalali wrote also separate letters to Philippe Bonnecarr鑽e, French senator and President of France-Iran Parliamentary Friendship Group as well as Delphine O, a member of French National Assembly.
