"Mr President, persecution of opposition and repressions on charges of so-called religious offences require a decisive and condemning response from our side. A most recent horrendous example is the case of the actress Marzieh Vafamehr, sentenced to a year in prison and 90 lashes for starring in a film dealing with infringement on artistic freedom. This sentence is even more preposterous since no specific charges have been defined nor has the sentence ever been substantiated.
In developing economic contacts with Iran the EU countries must proceed from this absolute priority – prisoners of conscience must be freed, and among them Pastor Yousef Nadar Khani, who has been sentenced to capital punishment. This is why I am appealing to the Council so that European companies are held back until repressions against Iranian residents are eased and pressure can be applied through coordinated sanctions. This is the only possible way to persuade the authorities of Teheran to cooperate with the UN, providing its special envoy with unrestricted control in all parts of the country."@en1
