NCRI – In a petition, more than 20,000 Danish people objected to clear disregard for the EU court verdict in removing People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI) from the terror list.
The signatories of the petition which is growing include human rights and women’s rights activists as well as politicians and academicians.
A copy of the petition of 20,000 Danish people was handed to the Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, Parliament and different parties in the country.
The petition demands the Danish government not to surrender to some European countries appeasement policy but to comply with the verdict of EU Court of Justice.
On Friday June 1st, Politiken, a major Danish newspaper published the petition of 20,000 people against the decision of Council of Ministers and wrote: This petition was handed over to the Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen. It demands from the government to abide by the ruling of EU Court of Justice and remove PMOI from the list.
Politiken continued: at the beginning of March Per Stig Moller the Foreign Minister was criticized as a result of this decision by the European Committee of the Parliament but he insisted this was a procedural mistake in the decision making.
Politiken quoted Pouyan Taherlou the Coordinator of Iranian Academic Society in Denmark and wrote: No one is asking the minister to interfere with the Security Agency but we are demanding that he must observe the ruling of the EU Court of Justice. This verdict clearly specifies there is no reason to keep PMOI in the terror list.
