The European Union on Monday removed the main Iranian opposition group in exile from its list of terrorist organizations, E.U. diplomats said.
E.U. foreign ministers, meeting in Brussels, rubber-stamped a decision to drop the group, the People's Mujahedeen of Iran, or PMOI, from the terrorist blacklist, bringing to an end a long legal battle.
The Luxembourg-based Court of First Instance ruled last month that the E.U. had wrongly frozen the funds of the opposition group and violated its rights by not justifying why it was placed on the list.
