Supporters of the NCRI gathered the day after the July 16 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia which, in a 22-page decision, said that the State Department must review its designation of the People's Mujahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) as a foreign terrorist organization, having failed to give the group a fair chance to overturn the listing.
The NCRI is an umbrella coalition of five Iranian political opposition groups, including the PMOI.
