Massoud Rajavi,
the historical leader of the Mojahedin-e
Khalq (MEK / PMOI) has had a major role in forming the opposition
against the religious dictatorship ruling in Iran. Ever since his
release from the Shah’s prisons, he started a massive campaign of education
to draw a line between the real tolerant and democratic view on Islam
versus the fanatic, and extremist interpretations by the reactionary religious
elite that gained the leadership of the 1979 revolution, led by the then
Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini, who later issued a decree to kill all the
supporters and activists of the MEK for that reason.
Massoud Rajavi has been known as the key strategist and
leader of the MEK and one of the most popular politicians in Iran’s
contemporary history for his dedication to freedom, democracy and standing by
the progressive and humanitarian morals the Iranian nation are known for. Below
you will find several of many existing quotes by famous politicians that have
known Rajavi or have worked with him during the past few decades.

One of the things that impressed me
most was the letters exchanged between Kazem (Rajavi) and Massoud (Rajavi)
which I happened to receive every once in a while. In reading
these letters, one could feel an
enormous sense of respect on the part of Kazem for his brother but also a sense
of deep love. And a mutual sense of trust that would immediately come to fore.
It was all too obvious that there was something far beyond political solidarity
and cooperation at work between the two brothers.
There was deep affection between
the two, brotherhood and mutual understanding without saying a word. And seeing
the two together was much too beautiful. It was the image of genuine
fraternity. And I think that Massoud gave a lot of energy to Kazem in his
struggle. Today, Massoud remains without Kazem but I am sure that Kazem’s
memory is a source of energy not only for us, the ordinary combatants but also
for Massoud.
Ché Guevara used to say that
martyred revolutionaries never die because they are like stars that will
continue to shine on to us for centuries after they die.

Massoud Rajavi was the last political prisoner released from
Shah’s jails before the fall of the monarchical
regime. Let us remember that he was twice sentenced to death and
Khomeini always considered him to be the
regime’s No. 1 enemy because Massoud Rajavi was the only one who confronted the
mullahs’ religious dictatorship by calling for a democratic revolution. And the
death squads are still after him. Today, Massoud Rajavi’s messages continue to
inspire freedom-fighters and freedom lovers in Iran and works as their driving
force.

Those who embrace a tolerant pluralistic democratic vision
for the society must take the lead. That was a conviction deeply rooted in
Massoud Rajavi’s political and moral teachings.
Already in 1983, in a period of extreme violence for the
Iranian theocratic revolution and repression against all political opponents,
Massoud Rajavi described Islam with these prophetic words: A particular
characteristic of Islam we believe in is its democratic nature. This Islam
recognizes the rights of other religions, opinions, and schools of thought.

You are the beacon of a resistance which never gets tired and
that does not need to rely on foreign
powers. I commend President Rajavi for her leadership and also wish to salute
the historical leader of the Iranian Resistance, Massoud Rajavi. I hope to meet
him very soon in a free Iran.
Massoud and his brave followers have become symbols of
perseverance and hope in these dark times of moral relativism and dirty
pragmatism.
Dr. Ahmad Al-Khattab, Syrian opposition figure
In 1984, thirty years ago in days like this, we came to this
place. There were three or four of us Syrians and the oldest among us was
national leader Akram Hourani. In front of us was the Iranian national leader,
the lion of Iran, Massoud Rajavi. A number of other members of the leadership
were by his side. We had a meeting lasting for 2 or 3 hours and we issued a
joint statement.
Reza Al-Reza, Secretary General of the Jaafari Shiite
Delegation of Iraq
The world will see that the Mojahedin are like a firm
mountain that is not shaken by the storms of oppressors of history. Massoud
Rajavi’s school of thought is against religious and racist regimes and has
drawn a red line with these two issues.

I would like to remind the 1980 article by Le Monde which
said if Massoud Rajavi’s candidacy had not been stopped (by Khomeini’s fatwa),
he would have won millions of votes and Iran would have seen a different
destiny. This is a clear answer to all those who questioned the support your
movement and resistance enjoy in Iran.
Ambassador Lincoln Bloomfield, former U.S. Assistant
Secretary of State, September 6, 2014
Le Monde said that Massoud Rajavi had he been allowed to run
instead of having a secret fatwa calling for his death would have gained
millions of votes including the support of all of the ethnic minorities, women
and religious minorities as well.
