"Mr President, Iran is one of the few countries where, in the 21st century, ordinary people are brought before a court and made to choose between their beliefs and life. This is the state of affairs confirmed by Human Rights Watch in connection with Pastor Nadarkhani, who has been sentenced to death by hanging. The report of 4 November from the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights mentions the high number of executions, including in public and by stoning, the use of torture, the cruelty of sentences, such as the amputation of limbs, arbitrary arrests, unfair trials, discrimination, the draconian restriction on the freedom of expression and association, all of which are warnings which we must heed urgently. I deplore the decision made on Monday by the Foreign Affairs Council, which postponed the tightening of sanctions against Iran. We must show more courage and send a clear, consistent message. Respect for human rights is non-negotiable for us."@en1
