NCRI - Supporters of the Iranian Resistance in Sydney, Australia held a picket line on Saturday, April 7 to denounce the European Council for ignoring the ruling by the Court of First Instance of the European Communities. The ruling annulled the PMOI terror label designation on December 12 2006.
The picket line received the support of many Australian citizens. The demonstrators asked the European Union to respect the Court ruling and not to abuse justice for trade benefits.
President of Iranian Refugee Center in Sydney described the European Union's decision as "surrendering to the requests of the Mullahs in Iran." He condemned any trade with Iran at the cost of Iranian people's rights. He asked PMOI to be removed from the terror list.
Some of the banners read: "Remove terror tag off the Iranian Resistance" and "Stop Mullah's export of terrorism". Many Australian citizens signed a statement to remove PMOI from the terror list.
"We have come here to show our support for the Iranian Resistance," said Shahla, a 45 year old teacher from Sydney. "PMOI has unjustly been added to the European list of terror and must be removed immediately," she added. |
