"Mr President, there are repeated violations of fundamental and human rights in Iran. The victims are defenders of human rights as well as everyday citizens who highlight the injustices that they experience through their personal blogs and community services.
Iran’s internet police, Fata, also engage in state-sponsored interference in people’s private lives. The work of journalists is controlled, and the freedom of artists to work is restricted. Parliament should send a strong message to Iran that harassment and persecution of its citizens cannot be approved of. Sattar Beheshti’s torture and death in police custody should be investigated and the perpetrators condemned. An open society where there is debate is ultimately also of benefit to the state and to those in power. Iran should be encouraged to discuss even sensitive matters."@en1
