Subject: The Court annuled, for the third time, a Council decision freezing the funds of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran. The Council has violated the rights of defence of the PMOI by not communicating to it the new information which, according to the Council, justified maintaining it on the European list of terrorist organisations; by refusing to communicate to the Court certain information about the case, the Council has equally infringed the fundamental right of the PMOI to effective judicial protection.

Parties: People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran c/ Consiglio dell’Unione europea
