Euro-Parliament condemns clerical regime's assassination of Mrs. Zahra Rajabi

In a strongly-worded resolution, last night the European Parliament condemned the assassinations of Mrs. Zahra Rajabi, a member of the National Council of Resistance and Mr. Adol-Ali Moradi, a Mojahedin sympathizer. It called on the EU Member States "to increase their protection of opposition leaders living in exile in their territory."

Mrs. Rajabi and Mr. Moradi were brutally murdered on February 20 in Istanbul by terrorists dispatched from Tehran. As the head of an Iranian Resistance's delegation, Mrs. Rajabi had gone to Turkey to address the plight of Iranian refugees in that country.

The European Parliament also expressed concern over the assassination of a number of Iranian opposition activists by the mullahs' regime's agents and over the role of Ali Fallahian, the minister of intelligence, in the murder of four Iranian Kurdish dissidents in Berlin in September 1992.

The resolution condemned "Teheran's intelligence ministry and its diplomatic missions abroad" for continuing "to intimidate Iranian refugees."
