As a point of clarification. APRODEH/Francisco Soberon did not propose to the EU that they remove the MRTA from their terrorist list. This has been misreported by Ms. O’Grady and throughout the media. The MRTA was and is not on the EU Terrorist list (nor the US terrorist list). Mr. Soberon wrote a letter to members of the European Parliament recommending that they not adopt an amendment to an unrelated parliamentary resolution on the Latin American Summit taking place in Lima, which called for the MRTA to be added to the EU Terrorist list. The amendment was not adopted. It should be noted that this amendment and resolution would not have had any impact on the EU Terrorist list as this list is not compiled by the European Parliament.
