"Mr President, we have already discussed criticism of the Iranian regime for repeated and persistent serious human rights violations on several occasions. It is, however, clear from the ongoing developments in the country that the assertion of the policy of radical Islam there is taking an ever more brutal form. The growing repression against opponents of the regime, defenders of human rights, journalists, students and the lawyers who defend them, and even against family members, is increasing in severity and intensity. The investigative bodies and Iranian judiciary have become an extended arm of the political will of a fanatical regime and persecute anyone who even suggests that they have doubts about the power of the Iranian State.
I firmly believe that our efforts for a return of freedom and humanity to the Iranian State administration must follow two paths. The first is to continue to appeal to the official State structures to respect internationally recognised human values, to value human life and human dignity, and to respect freedom of opinion and expression. The second path is to document all known cases of criminal conduct by State institutions, judicial authorities and security forces and to forward them to the International Criminal Tribunal for consideration."@en1
