lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I congratulate the Member who exceeded the speaking time, because I believe that exceeding useless restrictions is a good thing. I will begin by saying that we are astonished, we are shocked and that we want to fight against a majority of those elected to the current Iranian Parliament who were not – so to speak – previously banned and who have implemented a truly terrible policy since 1997, on the pretext of shortcomings due to the excess fundamentalist power of the Ayatollahs. The problem is that this Iran – of candidates and elected representatives who have not been banned – is an Iran that is second only to China in terms of the number of cases of capital punishment. President Khatami’s Iran is an Iran where, according to official data, not only do they continue to stone men and women to death, but where, on 3 February 2003, Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahrudi said to Chris Patten that, at the moment, Iran does not provide for an alternative to stoning to death, and he said this to us! Now, if you will allow me, it is of course a terrible outrage in terms of democracy to prevent these candidates, the afore-mentioned reformists from being elected, but what concerns me is that, if they are elected, they will continue to live with stonings, unjustified death penalties, hypocritical moderatism. We in Europe are with Khatami, who acknowledges stonings and more, whilst we are shocked, ladies and gentlemen, that in Nigeria – where there is more than a hint of democracy – there was the real risk of just one woman being stoned; and no more have been stoned. So, I would merely like to plead with those tabling this resolution to accept a type of oral amendment, inserting figures on death penalties and those executed, welcoming the fact that those condemned have not been executed. I hope that tomorrow we either gather 32 signatures or we accept the oral amendment."@en1
