lpv:translated text	"While the European Union respects autonomy of third countries it cannot turn a blind eye to such burning issues as the use of capital punishment. Iran is a country where executions of citizens are carried out at a level among the highest in the world. Thanks to efforts undertaken by numerous non-governmental organisations, multiple cases of human rights violations by the Iranian authorities have now been documented. Fundamental rights that should be enjoyed by every human being are not respected in Iran. Furthermore, according to the UN, the executions are carried out on an even greater scale than is registered in the official data, for many executions are performed in secret. Recent arrests and death penalties are mostly applied to either human rights activists who make their beliefs public, or to political opponents of those in power. The Iranian regime is indefatigable in imposing the atmosphere of intimidation while public unrests are exacerbated by the continuous use of violence, arrests or judicial harassment. As representatives of the European Community we must raise our voices on behalf of those who are denied their rights. We must direct the attention of the whole of Europe to the plight of those whose rights are continuously infringed upon. The European Parliament, in its capacity of an advocate of human rights, freedom of speech and democracy, must exhort the Iranian authorities to abolish capital punishment immediately, free the accused and respect human rights. Only by going down this route shall we maintain and further develop political and economic relations between Iran and European Union."@en1
