U.S.: No Basis to Prosecute Iranian Opposition Group

HeadlineJul 27, 2004

br> In news from Iraq, a 16-month review by the United States found no basis to prosecute members of an Iranian opposition group in Iraq even though the group is listed as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government. The People’s Majahadeen remains on the terrorist list although it is not known to have conducted a terrorist act towards the U.S. for 25 years. Senior U.S. officials in Iraq said members of the group had been designated QUOTE “protected persons,” which means they will not be prosecuted or handed over to Iran.
