"Mr President, I would like to join Mr Dupuis and Mrs Iivari in expressing our sense of deep solidarity with Lao exiles who are here today, and even more with dissidents who are detained in prison without trial and in intolerable circumstances in Laos itself.
On behalf of the Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance who are in Parliament – and, I am sure, in a spirit in which the whole Parliament joins – we very much wish to express our support for the liberation of Laos. We cannot but remember here how much the West – the United States perhaps more than Europe – has done, in times past, to destabilise and damage life there. We now wish to see an improvement.
We know that Laos has signed the UN Covenants on Civil and Political Rights and on Economic and Social Rights. It still must ratify them, and the government there must live up to what it has undertaken to honour. We call for this to be done in the name of human liberty and solidarity."@en1
