London (The Sun)- The Government was today told that it should remove the main Iranian opposition movement from a list of banned terrorist organisations. <\/p>\n

The Proscribed Organisations Appeal Commission (POAC), in central London, ruled the decision not to remove the People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI) from the proscribed terrorist blacklist under the 2000 Terrorist Act was "perverse". <\/p>\n

The appeal against the Home Secretary’s decision to proscribe the PMOI as a terrorist organisation was brought by 35 cross-party senior MPs and peers including former Home Secretary Lord Waddington, former Solicitor General Lord Archer of Sandwell and former Law Lord, Lord Slynn of Hadley.
 
About 200 campaigners cheered and threw colourful confetti, blew horns and handed out sweets when Lord Corbett, chairman of the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom, broke the news on the steps of the POAC. <\/p>\n

He told the jubilant crowd: "This is an historic day on the road to freedom and democracy for the Iranian people." <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
