SMCCDI Note: The MKO is as backwarded and terrorist group, just as like as the Islamic republic regime. Guided by a mixed of Marxism, Islamism and Opportunistic and Constant Change Face, its leaders and its doctrine are lacking of any real support among Iranian masses.

The absolute majority of Iranians, while hating the Islamic regime, reject the MKO and are qualifying as the other face of the Islmaic regime and of Saddam's butchers.

Without doubt, Britain undermined itself in the eyes of Iranians.

TEHRAN -Iran Thursday condemned a U.K. court ruling paving the way for the lifting of a ban on the main armed opposition group to the Islamic republic, and said such a move would promote "terrorism."

The Court of Appeal in London ruled Wednesday there were "no valid grounds" to contend a U.K. panel made legal errors when it ordered the People's Mujahedeen Organization of Iran, or PMOI, to be removed from a terrorist blacklist.

Iran "strongly condemns the removal of (PMOI) from a terrorist list and regards this ruling as political, legally baseless and a sign of Britain's dual approach to terrorism," foreign ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said.

"The massive measures taken by (PMOI) against the Iranian people and officials are known to everyone," he said in a statement, adding revoking the ban "will only help to promote terrorism and violence."

The PMOI is on the European Union's list of terrorist organizations subject to an E.U.-wide assets freeze, and has been designated by the U.S. government as a foreign terrorist organization.

The group welcomed Wednesday's ruling and called for its removal from the E.U. list.

Formed in the 1960s in opposition to the rule of U.S.-backed shah, the PMOI took part in the 1979 Islamic revolution but is now the main armed opposition group.
