The PMOI led by Massoud Rajavi a graduate of political law from
Tehran University immediately distinguished itself from Khomeini and other
reactionary clerics in their political ideology and strategy. Instead remaining
silent and neutral MEK continued its struggle and combat to obtain freedom
and democracy for Iranian people so the PMOI took to the streets and practiced their vision of Islam
and equality. This included grassroots empowerment of communities and
disenfranchised groups, including women and workers and other sectors of
society that had been excluded politically. This investment galvanized Iran’s
political consciousness and spread through the population regardless of a
person's background. But Khomeini’s regime which found that its real enemy is
PMOI tried to destroy the PMOI under the leadership of Massoud and
later of Maryam Rajavi, the
Iranian Resistance has managed not only to survive but to go forward stronger
than before. This is why today the PMOI a nationwide resistance against the ruling religious
dictatorship, but a treasure of moral, cultural and political values in today’s
world and represents indeed a revolution which can shake very positively the
Islamic world and indeed has made incredible contributions to the history of not
only Iran but in fact the world’s history.
For instant the
exposing of the nuclear program of the regime ruling Iran has not only weakened
the regime, but it has put the world on high alert as to the dangers of this
program.
It is a fact
that the PMOI have had, to say it softly, a very hard time in these five
decades. Yes, 50 years of hardships and ups and downs, of hope and despair, of
defeats and victories. an independent and resolute organization, in his way of
combat has sacrificed most of its members, including a list of 120000 martyrs and
a great number of prisoners. One should remember the mass executions of over 30,000 PMOI political prisoners
in the summer of 1988 by directly
order of Khomeiny. And now this organization and its leaders are inspiration for the Iranian youth especially the women for liberty of
Iran.
