"Mr President, I have issued an appeal which is circulating in the European Parliament and has already been signed by several dozen Members on the matter of Asia Noreen – a Christian who is facing death. In the village of Itanwali in Pakistan, Asia Noreen belongs to a religious minority and has been sentenced to death, and now there is a danger that the sentence will be implemented. Those close to her are also at risk.
I would again appeal to the High Representative and to the European Parliament to act more decisively and effectively. It is a measure of our credibility as defenders of human rights; we must resolutely exert diplomatic pressure to ensure that Christians are not persecuted for their religion or threatened with death. I reiterate my appeal, stressing that the authority of this House is at stake."@en1
