In Remembrance of 3Founders of the PMOI

May 25th, is the remembrance day of 3 fouders PMOI, Mohammad Hanifnejad, Sa'id Mohsen and Ali-Asghar Badi'zadegan. The ultimate goal of the founders, who were all university graduate, was to pave the way for a democratic government to replace the Shah's regime. In contrast to most of their contemporaries, they believed that a new, democratically inclined interpretation of Islam was the means to this end. They set about establishing a political organization that could survive the shah's repression and respond to the needs of ordinary citizens.
Until 1971, however, the PMOI was involved in formulating a new interpretation of Islam that rejected traditional and reactionary understanding of the religion. In six years the Mojahedin succeeded, for the first time, in the modern day Islamic world in presenting a new, systematic and comprehensive vision of Islam that was entirely independent of what was espoused and advocated by the fundamentalist mullahs who considered the interpretation of Islam their exclusive domain.
They and the organization's new members studied the various schools of thought, as well as Iranian history and those of other countries, enabling them to analyze other philosophies and theories with considerable knowledge and to present their own ideology, based on Islam, as the answer to Iran's problems.

The Shah's secret police, SAVAK, arrested all PMOI leaders and most of its member's in1971. Finally, at the dawn of May 25, 1972, the founders of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), Mohammad Hanifnejad, Saeed Mohsen and Ali Asghar Badizadegan, along with two members of the PMOI leadership, Mahmoud Askarizadeh and Rasoul Meshkinfam, were put before death squads and were executed after long months of imprisonment and torture in Shah's SAVAK dungeons. They were the vanguards, who stood against the dictatorial regime of Shah.
Fortunately Massoud Rajavi's death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. He was the only survivor member of the PMOI leadership.
He led this struggle till today. He is the main Enemy for fascistic regime in Iran.
