The Versailles Appeal Court annulled definitely the order of exile and expel of an Iranian Resistance Activist released by French Interior Ministry on June 17, 2003, and sentenced the French Interior Ministry to pay fine.

The Court dismissed the claim that Mrs. Nargess Sarkhaili, Iranian Resistance’ activist, was an intruder of public order and approved the previous verdict of the Cergy-Pontoise Court in her favor. The Interior Ministry had appealed the Cergy-Pontoise Court’s verdict, but the Versailles Appeal Court rejected the Interior Ministry’s appeal.

Both Courts annulled the order of exile and expulsion of the Iranian Resistance activist and sentenced the Interior Ministry to pay fine.

The administrative Cergy-Pontoise Court suspended this order first and then in July 2005, following investigations reached to the conclusion that the allegations against this Iranian Resistance activist had no basis, and hence annulled the order of her exile and expulsion.

The Appeal Court of Versailles, approving the Cergy-Pontoise Administrative Court, concluded: ” The Interior Minister who can not prove that expulsion of this Iranian citizen is an immediate necessity for the country’s security and public security, doesn’t have the right to reason that the Administrative Court’s verdicts regarding annulment of expulsion of Mrs. Sarkhaili and annulment of her exile verdict had been mistaken.”
