"Mr President, in this House we have been repeatedly calling upon the Iranian authorities to demonstrate respect for fundamental human rights and discontinue repressions against their own society: be it those who are in active opposition to the regime or human rights activists, lawyers, journalists and directors as well as those who are subject to persecution as a result of their views. Regrettably up till now this has produced negligible results. This is why today, apart from verbal declarations, we should resort to all available forms of pressure on the Iranian regime in order to force them to respect human rights and punish individuals personally responsible for their violation. The special list comprising names of officials whose bank accounts have been frozen and to whom entry to the EU has been denied should also include every single name of those known to take part in such activities. We must also conduct a close examination of current economic sanctions and adjust them accordingly, so as to stop goods and equipment from Europe enabling the Iranian authorities to follow and persecute their citizens from ending up in Iran, whereas such occasions, unfortunately, do take place. Thank you."@en1
