"President Ahmadinejad’s regime continues to trample on the fundamental rights of the Iranian people with impunity, while the government itself is shaken by a number of uncertainties. On the one hand, the population has hopes of democratic change while, on the other, the Iranian Government and Parliament are disturbed by the presence of factions within the elites competing for power. Undoubtedly, however, democratic change cannot be imposed from the outside, but it should be the result of a democratic and peaceful process, finally conceding to calls for welfare and freedom from recent mass Iranian movements. The nuclear question is also still an issue. From our side, the EU should work for a diplomatic solution, based on an approach that combines pressure with ordinary dialogue. It would be advisable, for example, for the European Council to contribute to the freezing of assets of individuals linked to Iran’s nuclear and weapons programmes. In the future, relations between the EU and Iran should, however, focus on analysing the numerous human rights violations. The Union should, in short, use all means at its disposal to draw up a univocal European Union position and let the Iranians know we are thinking about their future. Their human rights are our rights too."@en1
