Mazur's torsionness conjecture for the elliptic-curve Selmer group

Let EE be an elliptic curve over a number field KK, let K/KK_\infty/K be the cyclotomic Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-extension, and write Γ=Gal(K/K)Zp\Gamma=\operatorname{Gal}(K_\infty/K)\cong\mathbb{Z}_p. Let Λ=Zp[[Γ]]\Lambda=\mathbb{Z}_p[[\Gamma]], and let SelE(K)[p]{\rm Sel}_{E}(K_\infty)[p^\infty]^{\lor} be the Pontryagin dual of the pp-primary Selmer group.

Mazur's conjecture. The Λ\Lambda-module SelE(K)[p]{\rm Sel}_{E}(K_\infty)[p^\infty]^{\lor} is a finitely generated torsion Λ\Lambda-module.

This is the basic torsionness assertion in the Iwasawa theory of elliptic curves. The supplied source does not state whether it is known or open in this generality.
