NTCM

(Dissident ex-High Ranking Members of Mek)

Strongly condemn the attempted terrorist act targeted at Mek’s gathering in Paris.

NTCM (No to Terrorism and Cults Association Movement-Europe), the movement of the dissident ex-members, commanders, the leadership council members and ex-members of the National Council of Resistance, defected from the Masoud and Maryam Rajavi’s  terrorist cult organization (Mek, Mujahedin e Khalg), strongly condemn any terrorist acts and even attempts to commit such acts against this cult.

In the event of the truth of the news published in the media about such an attempt and the three arrests in this regard, as a crime against humanity which could have endangered lives of innocent people, would only benefit Masoud Rajavi and his cult, who has gone into hiding to escape facing the justice for his four decades of terrorist crimes in Iran against Iranians, in Iraq against Iraqis and against Mek’s own members.

Since such attempted acts clearly provide legitimization for an illegitimate and highly condemned cult by Iranians around the globe, plus providing  excuse for their past and future terrorist crimes led by Maryam Rajavi and Masoud Rajavi, strongly manifests the coherence of inhuman interests of some of the fascist factions of the Iranian Regime with the Mek cult’s  against the highest interests of the Iranian peaceful and freedom loving people’s movement on going in Iran.
