In its fourth ruling, European court rejects demand by EU Council and France to delay annulment of terror label against PMOI (MEK) 

Maryam Rajavi: This puts an end to shameful deals with the mullahs; EU Council has no alternative but to comply with the court ruling which annulled PMOI's terror label 

The Court of First Instance of the European Communities (CFI), in its fourth ruling over the past two years, rejected a request by the EU Council and France to delay implementation of the December 4 court ruling on the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI [MEK]) until the deadline to submit an appeal against the ruling has ended. It described their demand as "clearly unacceptable" and ordered the Council to pay all legal costs incurred by the PMOI (MEK).

Maryam Rajavi calls for bringing the regime’s leaders before international tribunal

This evening, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution condemning gross violations of human rights in Iran. Thus, the regime’s hysteric attempts at striking a dirty and despicable deal with some foreign governments and states with a poor human rights track record to prevent the adoption of this resolution were met with defeat as the international community took a united stance against the religious fascism ruling Iran.

EUOBSERVER.COM, 19 December / COMMENT - As Barack Obama takes over at the White House, one clear danger is that European governments will proceed as if the war on terror is now finished, leading us vulnerable to attack, perhaps by radical fundamentalists with ties to Iran. Furthermore with George Bush gone, the Islamic Republic may itself sense new opportunities to further spread its fundamentalist ideology and terror tactics to Iraq and the Middle East.
