lpv:translated text	". Mr President, at this moment, Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has the life of the Iranian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani is his hands. Nadarkhani has been sentenced to death for apostasy, or rejecting Islam. This is a court sentence that directly contravenes Iran’s constitution, its criminal law and also international treaty obligations that Tehran has entered into. A pronouncement from Khamenei releasing him should, in all reason, be on the verge of being issued. However, given that that has still not happened means that those close to Nadarkhani, the condemned pastor, fear a dramatic end to his case in the mostly quiet Christmas period of 2011. I call on you all – ladies and gentlemen, the Council and the Commission – to not leave Nadarkhani in the lurch. Raise your voices! Call on the Iranian authorities to exonerate him! An Iranian journalist called me late last night. I can still hear her voice asking why Europe was making so little noise when Nadarkhani’s life hung in the balance. It is up to us, up to the European institutions, to give this pressing question a convincing, dignified answer. It goes without saying that the same applies to all the violations of fundamental civil rights in Iran that are on the agenda this afternoon."@en1
