"Mr President, there are serious breaches of human rights in Iran, in particular the threat to stone nearly ten women to death – I am speaking here of Iran, Khayrieh, Kobra N, Fatemeh, Ashraf Kalhori, Shamameh Ghorbani, Leyla Ghomi, Hajar and the sisters Zohreh and Azar Kabiriniat, and other people, too. The use of the death penalty for children and for those who talk about women’s rights demands a strong reaction from the democratic world. The arrest of those involved in the ‘million signatures’ campaign shows how society is being prevented from exercising its right to speak out on important issues.
These actions must be condemned. European Union bodies should monitor the human rights situation in Iran. We would like to see a group of observers sent to Iran and for them to prepare a detailed report that the European Parliament can consider, so that it can define its own position and put forward its proposals for measures that could help to improve the human rights situation in Iran."@en1
