Velayati brazenly accused Germany of sponsoring terrorism and asked for the extradition of members of the Iranian Resistance who legitimately enjoy the sacred right to asylum in that country.
The National Council of Resistance opposes any submission to the blackmail and political intimidations of Iran's ruling mullahs and strongly condemns any interference and meddling in the due process of law in the Mykonous trial.
The Iranian Resistance further calls on Germany to once and for all put an end to the policy of critical dialogue and appeasement of the medieval mullahs by reacting decisively to their shameless demands and disgusting threats.
The truth is that the placating policies of some European countries towards the mullahs' criminal regime has so emboldened its officials that today they impudently accuse the European countries, themselves, of terrorism. The regime has already taken advantage of extensive diplomatic and economic ties with Germany to export terrorism to various parts of the world.
Since the beginning of the Mykonous trial in Berlin in 1993, the mullahs' regime has tried every means, including economic blackmail and threats of hostage-taking, to influence the legal proceedings in a bid to evade justice. Today, on the eve of the announcement of the court's final verdict, these threats have evolved to retaliation in kind.
The German Federal Court of Justice has issued a warrant for the arrest of Ali Fallahian, the regime's Minister of Intelligence, for his direct involvement in the murder of four Iranian Kurdish dissidents in that country. The regime's officials and agents directly engaged in hit squads are already imprisoned or are under surveillence, or prosecution in several European countries.
