(4/4) @PahlaviReza we are happy to provide more detailed information on how to improve and update this report by our fellow avocats to complement the work that has been done in serious detail and effect.
(1) Can the European Union designate #IRGCterrorists? Our expert legal answer is “yes”! What about the opinion of @JosepBorrellF that it requires a court order from an EU Member State? This opinion is simply not in line with EU laws. In this thread we answer your main questions:

A group of French-Iranian lawyers in contact with my Secretariat, has produced a report attesting that there are no legal obstacles to adding the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to the EU list of terrorist organizations.
Based on this report, already shared with multiple European governments, I invite the European authorities to reconsider their current position. Listing this entity, which is dedicated not to protecting Iran or Iranians but instead the power of the dictatorship, would be a strong and long-awaited recognition of reality and a show of support to my compatriots who are fighting for freedom and democracy in our country.

2.@EUCouncil has already referred the matter to the Political and Security Committee in tandem with COMET WP.
(11) I want to read all the technical parts for myself. What do I have to read? The document called the “Common position 2001/931/CFSP” sets out the relevant steps and requirements. Plus, the document setting up the COMET WP is titled 14612/1/16 Rev 1, dated 23 November 2016.

(10.2) In this case, the Judge clearly concludes that “the shooting down of Flight 752 by the [IRGC] was an act of terrorism and constitutes ‘terrorist activity’ under the SIA, the JVTA and the provisions of the Criminal Code.” #IRGCterrorists#ps752justice
