Rome (Fidest) – Italian Members of Parliament have called upon their government to fully support the implementation of the European Court ruling about the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) during the upcoming EU Council of Ministers meeting.
The resolution, passed by the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Italian Parliament on the eve of the Council’s Ministers meeting, carries the support of representatives from majority of Italian parties.
This resolution calls on the government to support the 12 December 2006 ruling of the European Court of Justice that annulled the decision of the Council of Ministers on including the name of the people’s Mojahedin of Iran in the list of the terrorist groups.
The office of the National Council of the Resistance of Iran in Italy, which its first representative to Italy was assassinated in Rome in 13 March, 1993 by the Mullahs’ terror agents, commended the Italian legislators on their historic decision.
A petition was signed last March by 318 parliamentarians from all political parties in Italy, supporting the PMOI (MEK), asking for full implementation of the EU Court ruling stressing that the EU Council of Ministers is not above the law.
