NCRI – Hundreds of Iranians from all walks of life staged a sit-in, already in its fourth day, demanding the removal of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran PMOI from the EU terror list outside EU headquarters in Brussels.
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 PMOI 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.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the Iranian Resistance’s President-elect said that the fourth European Court ruling in favor of the PMOI and against the unlawful Council decisions leaves the EU with no remedy but to immediately accept the ruling and admit that the PMOI had been out of the list since December 4. She added that there is nothing the EU Council could do to prevent implementation of the ruling. She hoped that the EU would immediately comply with the Court’s decision and prevent further disgrace for itself.
