"Mr President, here we are once again discussing the human rights situation and violations in Iran. This seems to be a never-ending, or at least a recurring, theme of our urgency debates. The people of Iran deserve human rights, democracy and freedom. However, human rights activists and civil rights activist are being detained, judicial processes fall far short of EU and European standards, women’s rights are not respected, and the principle of freedom of expression is violated on a daily basis.
I am particularly appalled by the fact that, to date, 42 lawyers have been arrested and prosecuted for their attempts to provide legal help to political prisoners and activists. The Arab Spring has shown that people’s striving for human rights and true freedom is deeply rooted. Those rights should not be compromised. Eventually, the Iranian people will, I am sure, raise their voice for the human and civil rights they deserve. In the meantime the EU shall – and should – keep the question high on its agenda."@en1
