Iranian Resistance strongly condemns threat to issue fatwa against Federal Prosecutor of Germany

According to the reports of news agencies, a large number of state-backed mullahs, the governor and parliamentary deputies of Qom, the mullahs' traditional strong-hold in central Iran, staged a demonstration today brandishing outright threats to assassinate the Federal Prosecutor of Germany. They chanted, "If the dirty fascist prosecutors do not apologize for their satanic affront to our sacred values, we will condemn them like Rushdie..."

The National Council of Resistance of Iran strongly condemns these shameless and blatant threats against the Federal Prosecutor of Germany. These threats once again show how far this regime indulged in terrorism to blackmail and intimidate other countries and advance its foreign policy.

The time has come for the government of Germany to adopt a decisive policy against this religious, terrorist dictatorship, to defend the principles of human rights, to combat terrorism, and to protect its own citizens. Germany must boycott the mullahs for sponsoring terrorism and close down all their representations in that country.

Fearing the political and international consequences ensuing the revelation of the direct role of their leaders, Khamenei and Rafsanjani, in international terrorism, the mullahs' leaders and the press have threatened Germany in recent days with embassy takeover, hostage-taking, severance of ties, attacking its interests worldwide, and finally by issuing death decrees like that of Rushdie.
