"Mr President, at the initiative of the International Society for Human Rights (ISHR), I have taken on a political sponsorship for Mr Bahman Ahmadi-Amouie, one of Iran’s best-known journalists. He has been in prison for five years for the same reasons as those which led to the death of the blogger whom we are discussing today and which are also resulting in the persecution of our Sakharov Prize laureates. All that these people have done is to exercise their right to freedom of speech, which is one of the most fundamental human and civil rights. Iran has absolutely no right to be expected to be treated like a normal state while it fails to grant these minimum basic rights. Of course we must negotiate and maintain contacts. Iran is one of the world’s most ancient countries and cultures. However, it should act accordingly and exercise humaneness towards people whose only act was to voice their opinions freely and openly."@en1
