NCRI - In its "Brief encounters" column today, the Daily Telegraph
wrote about the symposium held on Tuesday in the House of Lords urging
the government to de-proscribe main Iranian opposition, the People's
Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI). The daily wrote:
"Since the Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, remains 'profoundly concerned
at Iran's links to groups trying to undermine peace in the Middle East
through violence', it seems strange that Iran's main opposition party,
the People's Mojahedin Organisation of Iran, remains proscribed by the
Home Secretary, Charles Clarke. More than 30 parliamentarians and
lawyers spoke in favour of lifting the ban at a meeting in Westminster
on Tuesday and the meeting was told that some 1,300 lawyers had signed
a declaration in support. 'It is time that our government distanced
itself from Iran's hard-line regime,' they said, 'and instead sides
with the millions of Iranians and their Resistance movement who seek
peace, freedom and a secular democracy.'" |
