Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance ‘strongly condemned the ruthless terrorist attack’ that killed 12 people including a number of staff and reporters of a weekly newspaper in Paris.

Maryam Rajavi “offered her condolences to the bereaved families of the victims of this tragedy and to the people and the Government of France,” according to a statement published by the National Council of Resistance of Iran.
