"(
) We defend freedom of expression and democracy, and we agree with the need to express our concern with the developments in Iran over recent months, particularly those relating to repression of the masses by the Iranian security forces. However, the proposed text does not do this in the best way.
In our opinion, our necessary expression of concern with the development of the situation cannot ignore the great threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iran, including the escalation of diplomatic and military involvement led by the US administration, including the concentration of US military forces in the region. We should not forget that these elements also threaten the rights of the Iranian people and the very forces that are continuing the struggle for democracy, progress and social justice in Iran. The adopted text does not make any mention of this.
The right to determine the future course of Iran belongs exclusively to the Iranian people and their political and social action. We would like to express our solidarity with the democratic organisations and the people of Iran who are fighting for social justice and progress in their country."@en1
