"Mr President, the ELDR Group can never approve of the death penalty, wherever in the world it is imposed. It is, of course, that much more repugnant when journalists are in danger of being executed just for doing their job. In January, the newspaper published a reader’s letter, following which the newspaper’s staff were taken into custody and accused of blasphemy. These individuals’ lives are now at risk. Fundamentalists have set fire to the newspaper’s offices in Peshawar. This event is a tragic illustration of developments in Pakistan where freedom of expression and human rights are not respected. The country is now becoming ever more marginalised in the world community. The Islamic laws, like the military’s support for the Taliban régime in Afghanistan, are creating alarm. The situation in Pakistan is very disquieting. What does the Commission intend to do in order to support those groups which are working to promote human rights and to establish the principles of the constitutional state?"@en1
