Iranian group
wins EU court case

A top European Union
court has annulled an EU decision to freeze the funds of a prominent
Iranian opposition group. The People's Mujahideen Organisation of Iran (PMOI)
was put on the EU's terror blacklist in 2002, which meant the EU could
block the group's finances. |
TEHRAN, Oct. 25 (ISNA)-Iran's
permanent envoy to the UN, Mohammad Khazaei, in his recent letter to the UN
Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, said Iran regards Britain responsible for
Mojahedin Khalq Organization's (MKO) crimes in the regional and cross-regional
countries.
The letter
circulated as the UN Security Council document seriously condemns Britain's
removal of the name of (MKO) from its terrorist black list.
If Britain's
failure in fulfilling legal commitments causes security losses for Iran, the
country is entitled to take legal measures to make up for them, the letter says.
The terrorist
group has launched series of expanded terrorist attacks against Iranian
nationals and politicians during past years and caused many financial and
spiritual losses.
Even now members
of the group preserve their military and army powers and are keeping on money
laundering, armed conflicts and brutal measures.
In spite of the
organization's clear terrorist activities, British government has ignored the
undeniable evidence confirming the group is trying to reconstruct its military
structure, he wrote in the letter as adding there is no sign suggesting the
group has curbed violent activities.
Such evidence
has also been corroborated by British high legislative and administrative
officials.
The letter also
calls Britain's move "questioning, unacceptable and illegal" which is against
the country's international obligations regarding campaign against terrorisms
and the UN Security Council's 1373 and 1624 resolutions.
British
government's measure has legitimated the terrorism and the group's terrorist
activities, Khazaei added.
