Misgivings about Undeniable Facts
Reported by the Associated Press, supporters of MKO have claimed that the European Union has failed to adequately explain why it refused to take the group off its list of terrorist organizations despite an EU court ruling. The claims emerge at a time when the EU is decisive to keep MKO on its list of terror and will announce it in a few days. The EU has argued that the court's ruling focused on procedural problems and did not imply that the group had to be removed from the list.
Alejo Vidal-Quadras, vice president of the European Parliament and a supporter of MKO told a news conference that "We have come across no evidence whatsoever which would justify maintaining the PMOI on the terrorist list". It seems that these advocates talking on behalf of MKO have not yet come across the well justified evidences of the State Department that re-designated MKO as a terrorist organization on April 30.
