The ruling annuls a 2002 decision to freeze European assets of the Paris-Based group. The United States lists the People’s Mujahedeen as a terrorist organization. However, the group founded in the 1960s by students at Tehran University says it advocates the overthrow of Iran’s hardline clerical regime by peaceful means.

The group acts as un umbrella for exiled Iranian opponents of the Islamic Republic.
