Maryam Rajavi meets with Ingrid Betancourt

Maryam Rajavi met with Ms. Ingrid Betancourt at the headquarters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran in Paris.
Ms. Betancourt is a private plaintiff in the case of the clerical regime’s terrorist diplomat, Assadollah Assadi. Referring to the shameful deal between Belgium and the Iranian regime as a capitulation to the policy of hostage-taking, she said, “I was a hostage myself, and I know that hostage-takers are encouraged by gaining concessions and continuing this policy. The right policy is to stand firm and resolute against them.”

Maryam Rajavi pointed out, “The regime’s strategy in foreign policy is terrorism, hostage-taking, and blackmail. The freedom of a terrorist, who led the largest criminal act in Europe after World War II, is a disgraceful ransom to terrorism and hostage-taking, in clear violation of the court’s ruling.”
