In Antwerp, a couple of Iranian origin from Wilrijk, an Iranian diplomat and a contact person of the diplomat are on trial for a foiled attack in 2018. The four would have wanted to commit an attack on a conference of the Iranian Volksmujaheddin or MEK in Villepinte, near Paris .
“The independent and professional investigation by the Belgian authorities was commendable,” said Maryam Rajavi before the trial began. Rajavi is chairman of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. The investigation has shown that this is a matter of state-organized terrorism. So, in addition to today’s defendants, it is also time for the Iranian leaders to be tried. According to NCRI, the top Iranian leader Ali Khamenei personally authorized the attack.
NCRI calls on the European Union and the European member states to break the policy of silence surrounding Iranian practices. The EU must designate the secret service MOIS and the Revolutionary Guard IRGC as terrorist organizations. The embassies and the so-called religious centers must be closed, because they are in reality centers for organizing terrorism and espionage. ‘
