Almost All Iranians in Canada Denounce MKO Rally

TEHRAN (Dispatches) -- Nearly 100% of Iranians in Canada believe Ottawa officials should not have taken part in the annual gathering of MKO terrorists, recently held in Paris, a survey has found.
The poll carried out the Iranian-Canadian Congress found 98.90% of respondents repudiate former Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper’s participation in the despicable event.
Asked whether the MKO terrorist group represented them, 99.48% said it did not. Meanwhile, 94.13% said they are against Harper’s decision to remove the MKO from the list of terrorist organizations in 2012, calling it a mistake.
Harper was among the staunchest supporters of the Zionist regime of Israel during his premiership and showed deep animosity towards the Islamic Republic.
Washington and the European Union removed the MKO from their lists of terrorist organizations in 2012 and 2009, respectively. The group is headquartered in Paris, while its terrorists are based in Albania.
Since it was founded in the 1960s, the terrorist group has gone from Marxism to ally of Saddam Hussein, attempting to position itself as the Iranian government-in-waiting.
Earlier this month, Iran’s Foreign Ministry summoned the French ambassador to Tehran to protest against the Paris meeting.
Several British MPs also attended the terrorist rally, including Labor MP Toby Perkins who was paid $1,112 in expenses to cover his travel, accommodation and meals, according to the UK Parliamentary register of MPs' financial interests.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani was one of 33 senior American officials and military brass at this year’s circus.
According to the British daily The Guardian, about 4,000 people attended the rally, many of them refugees and young eastern Europeans who had been bussed in for a weekend trip to Paris.
The paper noted that the MKO "has minimal support in Iran and is widely hated for its use of violence and close links to Israeli intelligence."
Some of the terrorist group’s uncouth practices include forcing its male members to divorce their wives and have them married to its gang leader Maryam Rajavi's husband Massoud.
