Britain removes the People’s Mujahedeen of Iran from list of banned terror groups

the People’s Mujahedeen of Iran from the country’s list of banned terror groups on Monday, after a seven-year campaign by Iranian opposition group.
Legislators approved the decision of the Court of Appeal, which ruled in May that the group should no longer be listed as a proscribed organization.
The decision will give it more freedom to organize and raise money in Britain.
“After so many years of waiting, so many years of campaigning, so many setbacks and frustrations, at last our government has seen the light,” said Baroness Angela Harris, a House of Lords peer who backed the move.
The group had argued that it renounced violence in 2001 and should no longer be listed as a terrorist organization.
