The result of your resistance and campaign proved you’re legitimacy. Designating the PMOI in the terrorist list in its essence was a flagrant aggression against humanity and this brave resistance. From now on, there is no pretext to continue the cruel siege and impose pressures and restrictions against Ashraf and Liberty residents.
