US removes Iran dissident group from terror list

  • 12 years ago
The US State Department has formally removed the Iranian dissident group MEK - or People's Mujahideen Organisation of Iran - from its terrorism blacklist.

Leader Maryam Rajavi welcomed the decision - condemned by Tehran - which follows similar moves by Britain and the EU in recent years.

The MEK opposed both the Shah and revolutionary clerics but has long said it has renounced violence.
