Rajavi urges UN Security Council to condemn attack on Iranian Kurds

Mr. Massoud Rajavi, President of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, sent a telegram to the United Nations' Secretary General and permanent member states of the Security Council, urging them to convene an urgent session to condemn the mullahs' savage crimes in the Iraqi Kurdistan against the Iranian Kurdish refugees and peshmargas, and adopt specific and practical measures such as an arms and oil embargo to prevent the adventurism and expansionism of the mullahs' regime.

Mr. Rajavi said: Such transfer of troops and savage attacks in a zone which is under the protection of the Allied Forces, is a blatant violation of many international conventions and treaties, including the U.N. resolution 598 for an end to the Iran-Iraq war.

This is not the first time that the mullahs' regime has taken advantage of the special circumstances in Iraq to launch attacks on the Iranian dissidents on the Iraqi soil, the NCR President added. The April 1992 air raid with 13 fighter jets on the National Liberation Army's Ashraf base camp, the November 1994 launching of three Scud-B missiles on the same base camp, repeated military and terrorist attacks on NLA bases deep inside Iraq, and the massacre of our Kurdish compatriots are but part of such measures.

Mr. Rajavi concluded: The international community's silence and inaction towards these atrocities have, unfortunately, emboldened the regime to continue and step up its aggressions and outlaw behavior. This is why it so brazenly claims official responsibility today for the attacks on Iraqi Kurdistan and the massacre of dozens of Iranian Kurds and peshmargas.
