The End of a Ridiculous Show, from a statement issued
by the Secretariat of the NCR - Paris, October 4

        By issuing prison sentences for the three women
accused of murdering three Christian leaders in Iran, the
mullahs' revolutionary court finally put an end to its
ridiculous showcase trial.
        The distribution or reading of the Mojahedin's
literature, or any form of showing support for them is
punished with death, and the mullahs' religious terrorist
dictatorship has so far sent before the firing squads tens
of thousands of people on such charges. They included
girls under 18 years of age as well as pregnant women.
Issuing prison terms for the three women who the
regime alleges are affiliated with the Mojahedin and
accused of murder and bombing in holy shrines,
therefore, is in itself revealing of the fabricated nature
of this case from day one, something that the Iranian
Resistance has reiterated time and again in the past 15
months.
        Mr. Massoud Rajavi, the President of the National
Council of Resistance of Iran, made a comment in this
regard: Now that many international bodies have held
the Khomeini regime accountable as the perpetrator of
the criminal assassination of the Iranian Christian
leaders, and the mullahs' stage making and orchestrated
proceedings have backfired, they have found their only
solution in putting an end to this ridiculous showcase.
        While calling on the world community to condemn
the regime's crimes against Iran's religious minorities,
Mr. Rajavi reiterated his call  of July 20, 1994, to His
Reverence the Pope, wherein he requested that the Pope
demand delivery of the three women to the Vatican
officials so that they could be questioned in the presence
of a jury, international attorneys and criminologists as
well as representatives of the Iranian Resistance, so that
the real secret behind this crime is revealed and the
conspiracies of the mullahs uncovered.
        It should be noted again that in addition to the
Special Representative of the UN Human Rights
Commission and the UN Sub-Commission for the
Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of
Minorities, the British Parliamentary Human Rights
Group as well as the Jubilee Campaign, Middle East
Concern, other Christian sources and impartial observers
have all underscored the role of Iran's ruling mullahs in
the murder of the three dissident Christian leaders,
rendering the Khomeini regime's courts as "unqualified"
to examine this case.


Travel to Iran Still Dangerous - U.S., Reuters, October 4

        WASHINGTON - The State Department on
Wednesday updated its warning to Americans against
travel to Iran, saying that former Moslems who have
converted to other religions were now subject to arrest
and possible execution.
        In the updated travel warning, the department
also noted that those who encourage Moslems to convert
face the same penalties.
        The department said travel to Iran "remains
dangerous because of the generally anti-American
atmosphere and Iranian government hostility to the U.S.
government."
        U.S. citizens traveling to Iran had been detained
without charge, arrested and harassed by Iranian
authorities, the warning continued.
        Now, it said, the Iranian government had also
obtained the names of all individuals who filed claims
against Iran at the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal at the
Hague under the 1981 Algiers Accords....
