lpv:translated text	"Mr President, if I have counted correctly, this is the seventh urgent motion for a resolution we will have adopted on Iran since this term began. It is true that the human rights situation in Iran is troubling and that this country has the dubious honour of topping the list of the most executions per capita: there have been 383 individual public executions since the beginning of the year, six group executions since 27 October 2012 and 20 public hangings on 7 and 8 November 2012 alone. The regime is attempting to speed up the execution of almost a thousand prisoners through the creation of a ‘death committee’. The lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh, to whom we awarded the Sakharov Prize, is on hunger strike and, yes, the death of the blogger Sattar Beheshti, tortured while in custody, is shocking. However, I cannot help wondering what purpose our resolutions serve. The number of executions in this country keeps on rising: they increased fourfold last year. Would we not be more useful if we expended our energy on other matters? We are not here, ladies and gentlemen, merely to appease our consciences."@en1
