Thousands of Europe-based Iranians, including relatives of victims of repression in the Islamic republic, lawmakers, and campaigners, have urged the European Union at a rally in Paris to list Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) as a "terror" group. Speakers at the rally on February 11 insisted that such a listing for the IRGC was the biggest contribution EU ministers could make to help the protest movement that erupted in September. The rally came as Iran marked 44 years since the Islamic Revolution that ousted the shah, with pro-regime rallies inside the Middle Eastern nation.
