I should like, however, to inform you that precisely on the eve of a mission to Iran by EU experts in October, a series of five public executions took place in Iran, which were reported in the world's press. I hope, incidentally, that the President-in-Office of the Council is not going to say that he was unaware of what was being said in the press.
Jeg vil imidlertid gerne oplyse, at der netop dagen før et besøg af et hold eksperter fra EU i Iran fandt en serie på fem offentlige henrettelser sted, der blev meddelt af alle aviser (og jeg håber, at rådsformanden ikke siger, at han ikke ved, hvad der står i aviserne), hvad der tydeligt demonstrerer, at de iranske myndigheder ikke er indstillet på at vige en tomme i deres opfattelse af menneskerettighederne.
