Much Ado about Nothing Mojahedin.ws, December 12, 2006
According to Reuters, Europe's second-highest court has annulled an EU decision freezing the funds of an exiled Iranian opposition group [MKO] that argues it was wrongly placed on the European Union's list of terrorist organizations. EU member states ordered the freezing of funds of the People's Mujahideen (OMPI) in 2002.
The report states that European Court of Justice decisions are binding on member states, but would not preclude decisions by individual governments to keep the group on their own terror lists.
While an EU spokeswoman declined immediate comment on the ruling, saying legal experts were studying the judgment, the Mojahedin’s TV has suspended all its regular programs beating a jubilant tom-tom calling it a great victory. Nothing has changed. Its funds being frozen or unfrozen, MKO remains a proscribed terrorist organization.
