LONDON, June 23, 2008 (AFP) – British lawmakers decided to lift a ban on the main armed opposition group in Iran Monday, following a court decision last month that ruled the government had to remove it from a terrorist blacklist.
The order removing the People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI), which was originally banned in 2001, from Britain’s list of proscribed groups will come into effect later this week, after it was approved without a vote.
