In a statement, 21 former European ministers urged the Belgian prime minister to make it crystal clear that terrorists will not be included in the prisoner swap agreement with Iran.

Assadollah Assadi, an Iranian diplomat-terrorist who was imprisoned after attempting to bomb an opposition rally in Paris in 2018, can be released by Brussels once the treaty is signed. The Belgian Judiciary found Assadi, which is one of only 20 individuals on the EU’s terrorist blacklist, guilty of planning the attempted bombing of the summit held in France on June 30, 2018, by the Iranian dissident movement National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). Tens of thousands of people, including hundreds of prominent international figures from both sides of the Atlantic, attended the summit.

Members of Congress made reference to a treaty between Brussels and Tehran and warned that Assadi’s release from Belgian custody would pose a direct threat to American lives.

Assadollah Assadi, a convicted terrorist, attempted to bomb the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) 2018 conference in Paris, where American citizens, including members of Congress and numerous current and former government officials, were also targeted. On September 6, seven members of the US Congress from both major political parties urged US Attorney General Merrick Garland to bring charges against Assadollah Assadi right away.

A bomb-disposal robot later handled more than 500 grams of the high explosive TATP, which was later discovered in a toiletry bag and partially detonated.

Approximately 70 lawmakers, academics, and human rights organizations from Europe and the Americas released a statement on Wednesday denouncing the potential release of Iranian diplomat Assadollah Assadi, who was convicted of planning a terrorist attack against Iranian expatriates and foreign backers of Iran’s pro-democracy opposition last year and sentenced to 20 years in prison in Belgium. Two Iranian-Belgian operatives were detained by law enforcement on June 30, 2018, as they were heading toward the French border.

A treaty was signed in March between the Iranian government and Belgium that paved the way for the release of Assadi, but it wasn’t made public until the end of June when it was submitted to the Belgian parliament for ratification.

The Iranian Resistance filed a petition with the Brussels Court of First Instance on Thursday to prevent the extradition and release of Assadollah Assadi, a convicted Iranian regime diplomat-terrorist.In 2018, Assadi and his associates attempted to bomb a 100,000-person Iranian Resistance gathering in France, which included hundreds of lawmakers, current and former officials, and dignitaries from five continents.

The “Free Iran” conference this year is taking place as public discontent with the regime grows and the mullahs are mired in unsolvable domestic and global crises.

On July 23 and 24, the Iranian Resistance will hold its yearly “Free Iran World Summit 2022: Iran on the Brink of Change.” This summit aims to create a unified international front that opposes the theocracy in Iran and the appeasement approach taken by Western powers.Numerous eminent politicians and parliamentary representatives from both sides of the Atlantic and elsewhere will attend this summit. Tens of thousands of Iranians from all over the world will participate in the event online. The “Free Iran” conference this year is taking place as public discontent with the regime grows and the mullahs are mired in unsolvable domestic and global crises.

Belgian investigators believe the planned attack was an attempt to assassinate (NCRI) leader Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, thus severely weakening the (PMOI / MEK Iran) and Iranian Resistance.

The trial of the Iranian regime’s terrorist diplomat Asadollah Assadi is due to start in Belgium next week. It is a very significant trial and one that will hopefully result in justly tougher policies towards Iran and its network of terrorist diplomats across Europe.

 (PMOI / MEK Iran): Fallen for Freedom in November 2019 Uprising Across Iran. The IRGC retaliated by opening fire on protesters, killing more than 1,500

It has been just 12 months since the November 2019 uprising which was spurred on by unreasonable price hikes in gasoline. In the January 2018 uprising, the regime’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, said the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran) had been a major driving force behind the unrest that caused both uprisings.

Earlier this week, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei spoke about the “security” issues that the regime faces, saying that it is of utmost importance to protect it against protests. He also spoke about the (PMOI / MEK Iran). – the regime’s main opposition – showing just how much of a threat it poses to the regime’s existence.

In the run-up to the first anniversary of the major uprising that started in November 2019, the Iranian regime is getting ready for a potential resurgence of unrest.

The opposition organization, The  (NCRI), and its constituent groups, especially the (PMOI / MEK Iran) have made efforts to get foreign governments to acknowledge what has been going on in Iran and the current human rights abuses.

It has only been a year since one of Iran’s largest protests swept through the country. The Iranian theocratic regime responded with brutal force, killing 1,500 protesters and arresting many more. Reuters confirmed in a special report on December 23, 2019, about the deadly crackdown on November nationwide protests in Iran the death toll of 1500 that was announced by the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI / MEK Iran) on December 15, 2019.

Khamenei has both condoned and celebrated human rights abuses in Iran during his time in power. Freedom of speech, religion, association, and the press have all been curtailed under Khamenei’s rule. the  (NCRI), and the  (PMOI / MEK Iran), has been a specific target of his wrath.

Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is the religious and political head of Iran, which is governed under the principle of Vilayat-e Faqih, or absolute clerical rule. As such, he has the final word on domestic and foreign policy and bears responsibility for Iran’s human rights violations and belligerence toward the international community.
