"Mr President, the violations of the rights of minorities in Iran come by no means as a surprise, as the devastating human rights situation in the country has been reported and debated in this Parliament a number of times.
We are calling upon the authorities to eliminate all forms of discrimination and urging them to allow freedom of association and religion, while freeing all peaceful minority activists from prison. Unfortunately, we already know that our resolution will be disregarded, just as others have been for a number of years.
Instead, I would encourage the EU to engage in dialogue and cooperation with opposition groups in Iran and abroad, and help them in their work towards overthrowing the current fundamentalist regime. The change in Iran will probably come from within the country, but we should use the opportunity of empowering democratically-minded Iranians to speed up the process."@en1
