(PMOI / MEK Iran) and (NCRI): The Federal Criminal Court on September 23, 2021, ruled that according to Swiss and international law the crime committed against Dr. Rajavi was not subjected to the statute of limitation.
According to the Iranian opposition group The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and the People’s Mujahedin of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran), the Swiss Federal Court ruled that a new investigation into the assassination near Geneva in 1990 of Dr. Kazem Rajavi, the representative of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) in Switzerland, should be undertaken in the context of genocide and crime against humanity. Dr. Rajavi was assassinated following the massacre of 30,000 political prisoners in Iran in 1988.
Swiss Federal Court orders
The Federal Criminal Court on September 23, 2021, ruled that according to Swiss and international law the crime committed against Dr. Rajavi was not subjected to the statute of limitation.
Dr. Rajavi was assassinated by a 13-member hit squad sent from Tehran on the direct order of then-Intelligence Minister Ali Fallahian, against whom a Swiss court issued an international arrest warrant in 2006. The 13 terrorists were the subject of an international arrest warrant in 1997, and an international arrest warrant was issued for Fallahian in 1996.
(PMOI / MEK Iran) and (NCRI): Many members of the Iranian opposition were MEK supporters who were assassinated.
Historic turning point
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), described the decision of the Swiss Federal Court as a historic turning point, affirming that genocide and crime against humanity should at no time and not anywhere be ignored based on the statute of limitations. This is a significant development and a legal precedent for contemporary law for all countries in five continents.
(PMOI / MEK Iran) and (NCRI): The Swiss government recently informed the NCRI that the murder case will be closed.
The unbridled terrorism of the clerical regime
Mrs. Rajavi also called the court’s decision a necessary step in countering the unbridled terrorism of the clerical regime, adding that the assassination of Dr. Rajavi was the continuation of the execution and massacre of the steadfast Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK Iran/ PMOI), based on Khomeini’s fatwa. The same heroes and heroines whom Kazem Rajavi defended on the international stage until his last day.
(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): Mrs. Rajavi also called the court’s decision a necessary step in countering the unbridled terrorism of the clerical regime.
The religious fascism ruling Iran to bomb a large resistance rally in Paris
Mrs. Rajavi pointed out: The plot by the religious fascism ruling Iran to bomb a large resistance rally in Paris in June 2018, intended to cause mass casualties, as well as the murder of at least 1,500 protesters during the November 2019 uprising, clearly showed that terrorism and repression are inherent and indispensable to the ruling religious tyranny.
(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): The trial of an Iranian diplomat on charges of terrorism signals the end of impunity for the regime.
Four decades of crimes against humanity and genocide
Khamenei, Ebrahim Raisi, and other regime leaders must be brought to justice before the International Court for four decades of crimes against humanity and genocide. European governments and the United States must recognize the 1988 massacre of political prisoners in Iran as genocide and a crime against humanity.

Excerpts from the decision of the Federal Criminal Court
The TPF recalls that the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland refused to accept that the assassination of Kazem RAJAVI could be considered genocide and a crime against humanity because these international crimes were not recognized under Swiss law until 1983 and 2011, respectively. For the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland, an assassination committed in 1990 could not have a retroactive effect and be tried in Switzerland as genocide and a crime against humanity.
On the contrary, the TPF considers that Swiss law “enshrines a limited retroactivity of the rules on the impressibility of crimes which, on the day this rule is adopted, are not time-barred.”
(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): an assassination committed in 1990 could not have a retroactive effect and be tried in Switzerland as genocide and a crime against humanity.
The execution of Dr. Rajavi
The TPF recalls that the complainant claims that the execution of Dr. Rajavi “was part of the context and continuity of the massacre of nearly 30,000 political prisoners in 1988 and systematic extra-judicial executions of political opponents in the years that followed. This policy was desired by the highest leaders of the Iranian regime and implemented, in particular, the fatwa pronounced by Supreme Leader Khomeini.”
(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): Based on Khomeini’s fatwa, over 30,000 political prisoners were executed in a three-month period during the summer of 1988. A clear case of crime against humanity.
Fallahian, Minister of Intelligence and Security ordered in 1982 or 1983
“It is clear from the evidence established during the investigation that the execution of K. Rajavi, an activist of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, then under cover of political asylum in Switzerland since 1981, had already been decided and ordered in 1982 or 1983 by Fallahian, Minister of Intelligence and Security Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran and responsible for directing the execution actions of opponents of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Regime. To plan the crime in question, Iranian commandos traveled to Switzerland three times between October 1989 and April 1990. During the last trip, the commandos composed of 13 people with Iranian service passports marked “chargé de mission” monitored the victim for several days before taking action on April 24, 1990.”
(NCRI) and (PMOI / MEK Iran): Mohsen Rezaee is implicated in the 1994 bombing of the AMIA center in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The elimination of Iranian opponents
The investigation further “highlighted that the elimination of Iranian opponents was being carried out in several European countries. Assassinations were perpetrated between 1987 and 1993 in Hamburg, Vienna, Geneva, London, Dubai, and Paris. Fallahian was placed under international arrest warrant by the German criminal courts in 1996 for playing a fundamental role in the assassinations of opponents and by the Argentine authorities in 2003 for organizing and coordinating a bomb attack at the headquarters of the Israeli-Argentine Joint Association in Buenos Aires. An international arrest warrant was also issued in 2006 against him in connection with the present case”.

The offenses of genocide and/or crimes against humanity
“The facts under investigation are likely to fall within the offenses of genocide and/or crimes against humanity, which the Office of the Attorney General of the Confederation does not seem to dispute.”
“The murder at issue, in this case, may have been committed with genocidal intent or in the commission of crimes against humanity. Since those acts are not prescribed on January 1, 1983, or on January 1, 2011, respectively, they may be pursued without time limit’.
The TPF, therefore, refers the case to the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland to initiate an investigation and award costs of CHF 2,000 – in favor of the complainant.
(PMOI / MEK Iran) and (NCRI): For 30 years, the public prosecutor of the canton of Vaud had dealt with the case as a “murder” case, but cases such as genocide and crimes against humanity fall under the exclusive competence of the public prosecutor of the Confederation.
