The British government lost a bid to keep an Iranian opposition group on its list of proscribed terrorist organizations, as leaders of the European Union reiterated their support for possible additional U.N. sanctions against Iran if it fails to give up nuclear enrichment work.
The Proscribed Organizations Appeal Commission (POAC) rejected an application by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith against its November 30 ruling that the People's Mojahadeen Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) should no longer be blacklisted.

IN A landmark judgment last month, the Proscribed Organisations Appeals Commission (POAC) ruled that Iran's main democratic opposition, the People's Mujahideen Organisation of Iran (PMOI/MEK), is not concerned in terrorism.
It further found the Home Secretary's decision to refuse an application made by 35 MPs and peers for the de-proscription of the PMOI was "flawed", "perverse" and "must be set aside", and ordered that the Secretary of State lay before parliament the draft of an order under section 3(3)(b) of the Terrorism Act 2000, removing the PMOI from the list of proscribed organisations in schedule 2.

 LONDON, Dec 14, 2007 (AFP) - The British government lost a bid Friday to keep an Iranian opposition group on its list of proscribed terrorist organisations, the Home Office announced.
The Proscribed Organisations Appeal Commission (POAC) rejected an application by Home Secretary Jacqui Smith against its November 30 ruling that the People's Mojahadeen Organisation of Iran (PMOI) should no longer be blacklisted.
Home Office minister Tony McNulty said he was disappointed at the decision and would now seek to take the case to the Court of Appeal.

LONDON -(Dow Jones)- A U.K. court Friday refused the government's appeal against the court's order to the home secretary to lift a six-year ban on an Iranian opposition group, taking the group one step closer to official legitimacy in the U.K., a lawyer assisting the legal team said.
It's an important victory for the Iranian opposition, which is currently fighting a similar ban on the Peoples Mujahedeen Organization of Iran in the U.S. and the European Union.

 TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran is currently holding up to 24 students in jail, the judiciary said on Tuesday after a spate of university demonstrations in Tehran.
"Between 20 and 24 students are in jail. They have been arrested over recent months, notably for seeking to disturb the public order," judiciary spokesman Ali Reza Jamshidi told reporters.
His comments came two days after hundreds of people demonstrated at Tehran University in a major protest calling for the release of detained students and criticising President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
