"Madam President, I would like to emphasise that I am speaking on my own behalf. I am not expressing the opinion of my Group.
In Iran the human rights situation has deteriorated after the new President was ‘elected’. In particular, the situation of women and young people has worsened considerably. The number of public executions has increased. The regime has been condemned in the UN for violations of human rights more times than any other country in the world: 51 times.
All hopes of Iran moving towards moderation have now evaporated. There are also many reports of the Iranian regime becoming increasingly involved in Iraq in an attempt to set up a sister Islamic state. Tehran has also decided not to respect any of its agreements with the EU with regard to nuclear programming, including the Paris agreement.
One of Iran’s main demands concerns the People’s Mujahedin Resistance Movement. They were put on the terror list about three years ago without any legal basis. Many MEPs in the House as well as the majority in the British, Belgium and Italian Parliaments have called for the removal of the Mujahedin from this list. We believe the only way to improve democracy in Iran is to support the main opposition."@en1
