Following Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance's trip to Italy on an invitation by the Italian Senators and a subsequent declaration of the support by the majority of the country's Senate for removal of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) from the EU’s list of terrorist organizations, the mullahs' regime frantically reacted.  Hassan Qashqavi, the mullahs' regime Foreign Ministry spokesman admitted to such a campaign.

The New York Times, Brussels, 23 October - A prominent Iranian opposition group won an appeal on Thursday against a European Union decision to freeze its funds. But the group, the People’s Mujahedeen, will remain on a European terror list because the decision concerned a blacklist compiled last year, not the most recent list that was compiled this year.

Court of First Instance of the European Communities for the second time in less than two years annulled terror label against the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). First it was on December 12, 2006 in which it called on the EU countries to remove the main Iranian opposition from their terror lists and release its assets.

Maryam Rajavi: The court’s verdict acknowledges the right to resist against dictatorship, and represents the triumph of justice over politics and economic dealings and interests. The imposition of the terrorist label is tantamount to participation in suppression. The Council of Ministers must apologize to the PMOI and the Iranian people.

In a 20-page ruling released this morning, the Court of First Instance of the European Communities annulled the European Union Council of Ministers’ decision to maintain the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) on the EU terrorist list.
