Mon 11 Nov 2009Legislation to provide €20m funding for anti-western militant groups
IRAN’S PARLIAMENT, the majlis, has adopted legislation allocating $20 million (€13.34 million) for anti-western militant groups and investigations into US and British plots against the clerical regime.
The law says the funding should go to “progressive currents that resist the illegal activities by the governments of the US and Britain”, to “confront [their] plots and unjust restrictions” imposed on Iran and to expose their “human rights abuses”.
