Clare Dyer, legal editor Source: The Guardian · Retaining blacklisting perverse, says court · MPs and peers back case for People's Mujahideen The government is to appeal today against a court ruling, won by 35 MPs and peers, that it should remove the People's Mujahideen of Iran (PMOI), the main Iranian opposition organisation, from the list of banned terrorist organisations.
The Proscribed Organisations Appeal Commission (POAC) ruled last

was "perverse", flawed and must be set aside.
By: Christopher Booker Source: The Sunday Telegraph Tomorrow morning, the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Phillips, will preside over what must be the most bizarre and politically fraught case ever brought before him. Sitting with two other judges as the Court of Appeal, he will hear an application from Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, for leave to appeal against an order by the High Court that she and the Government must stop breaking the law - solely to appease the murderous regime in Iran which, apart from all its other crimes, is arming terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The political ramifications of this case are immense. Already it is causing considerable embarrassment to our Government, which not only misled its EU allies into an action found illegal by the EU's own courts, but has now been boxed in still further by criticism from the Council of Europe, in a near-unanimous vote of disapproval supported by the leader of the UK delegation, John Prescott.

By: Reza Shafa Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its surrogate the Qods Force are busy these days expanding their warmongering strategy to Afghanistan using the mess they have already made in Iraq as a tested positive blueprint.
In a classified report leaked out of security apparatus in the mullahs' regime, the IRGC made a proposal to the Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, outlining the ways in which the newly Afghan army may be infiltrated and later manipulated by the Iranian regime's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) and other terrorist networks working for the IRGC-QF in the country. The recommendation clearly stresses the need for the IRGC and MOIS operatives to recruit Afghan soldiers for Taliban group.
