AUVERS-SUR-OISE, France, June 16 (UPI) -- The Paris Courts of Appeals revoked all restrictions Friday on members of the Iranian resistance group, Mujahedeen-e-Khalq, who were detained on June 17, 2003.
The announcement was made by Maryam Rajavi, president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, on the third anniversary of the restrictions.
"Today's ruling is one to be jubilant about. Yet, it is also very painful because for three years these unjustified restrictions disrupted our legitimate and legal activities to expose the clerical regime's atrocities," said Rajavi.
The leader of the NCRI stated that "the court has concurred that the allegations against the Iranian Resistance are baseless."
She demanded that the case be closed and referred to court expeditiously, so that it could be heard and the rest of the restrictions removed.
"The terrorism charge was nothing more than a pretext," said Rajavi. "When the allegations reached a dead end, instead of closing the file, they raised bogus financial charges, which similar to the terrorist allegations, are without foundation.

The Paris Courts of Appeals revoked all restrictions Friday on members of the Iranian resistance... Interesting timing with respect to nuclear negotiations. The pressure on Tehran just went up a few Pascal.

They're a terrorist cult.
"The leader of the NCRI stated that "the court has concurred that the allegations against the Iranian Resistance are baseless.""
I'd like to read that court statement myself. Somehow, I don't think it says that.
"revoked all restrictions" "She demanded that the case be closed and referred to court expeditiously, so that it could be heard and the rest of the restrictions removed"
What's that ?? Were "all restrictions" revoked or not??What is this "the rest of the restrictions removed" stuff?
As usual, the UPI reporting s&cks and does the bidding for the enemy.
