"Mr President, I abstained from the vote on the report on Tunisia because I do not feel that this type of document serves much purpose. Since we are discussing the protection of freedom and human rights, I would like to take this opportunity to say that a serious violation, or rather an attempt at violation of the right to freedom of speech took place today in the Parliament forecourt. The victims were a group of young people with banners and flags who were demonstrating against globalisation and genetically modified organisms. Water was thrown out of one of the Parliament offices – I do not know whether it was in a bucket or another container – by, it appears, a Member of Parliament, who then protested in the Chamber against the demonstration. I repeat that this demonstration is a free expression of thought, even though I may not agree with the tone or expressions used. This incident was recorded on film and I would ask the Presidency to watch it and adopt any necessary measures."@en1
