PARIS, France — The Paris police have banned a rally by an Iranian opposition group that was due to take place tomorrow, the Paris-based NCRI says in a statement.

The demonstration, which had been approved several months ago, was banned late on Thursday evening.

The group, which says it was appealing the decision, did not say what reason had been given.
