Message of Condolence on the Passing of Sid Ahmad Ghozali, Former Prime Minister of Algeria

With deep sorrow and profound sympathy, I extend my heartfelt condolences to the people of Algeria, as well as to the esteemed friends and family of Sid Ahmad Ghozali, a great friend of the Iranian Resistance, former Prime Minister, and distinguished Algerian statesman.

For many years, even in the most challenging circumstances, Sid Ahmad Ghozali stood resolutely with his brothers and sisters in the PMOI/MEK—whether in the struggle to protect them in Ashraf or in the campaign to remove them from terror lists. His name will forever be etched in the history of the Iranian people.

Mr. Ghozali was a true heir to the legacy and values of the Mujahideen in Algeria’s war of independence. He never wavered in his principles of humanity and ethics, refusing to compromise them for the exigencies of the times or fleeting political interests. Despite overt and covert pressures, he remained steadfast in his defense of the PMOI, consistently emphasizing that their doctrine and democratic interpretation of Islam were not only a solution for Iran but also a guiding light for the Islamic world.
