EU parliament slams Iran for crackdown on women's rights protesters
WORLD 07 October 2022 - 10:00
Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) have condemned Iran for the repression of women’s rights protesters.
The majority of MEPs voted in favour of a resolution that “condemns in the strongest terms” the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini “following her violent arrest, abuse and ill-treatment by Iranʼs ‘morality’ police”, according to Politico.
The resolution also calls on the Iranian government to allow for an “impartial and effective investigation”.
The resolution also “supports the peaceful protest movement across the country”, and asks the Iranian authorities to release protesters who have been arrested and drop all charges against them.
Following Amini’s death, anti-government demonstrations have taken place across Iran, with many women removing their headscarves in defiance of the country’s religious laws.
Authorities have reportedly killed more than 100 people during the demonstrations.
