IOPHR Statement on the EU’s Discriminatory Approach Towards Human Rights

shabtabnews – In a statement IOPHR asks EU to show consistency in its human rights approach towards nations that violate human rights.

The statement declares ” European Union re-imposed new sanctions on Russia for poisoning Mr. Alexei Navalny, who is fortunately still alive, while Iran’s ruling regime poisoned and killed Mr. Behnam Mahjoubi at the Evin Prison Medical Centre. Contrary to Mr. Navalny’s case, the death of this Iranian prisoner of conscience did not spark the slightest of reactions. “

The statement also states: “In addition, hundreds of extrajudicial killings of prisoners of conscience in Iranian prisons, whose names have been announced to the international community, have thus far been met with silence and appeasement by the European Union. Unfortunately, this silence and appeasement has made the Iranian regime more determined to expand its anti-human rights activities.”

Additionally the statement declares: ” the International Organisation to Preserve Human Rights condemns the holding of the joint economic meetings with the Iranian regime, and notes that holding such meetings encourages Iran’s ruling regime, which only leads them to take further anti-human rights measures and ultimately increase the suffering of the Iranian and European citizens.

The International Organisation to Preserve Human Rights, once again draws the attention of the world to the undeniable fact that the only way to counter the abuses of the ruling regime in Iran is for the issue of “human rights” to be given a central place in all future diplomatic relations with Iran, and to pay close attention to the issue of advancement of human rights standards in Iran. So that the Iranian regime will be compelled to comply with all international conventions in this regard, which in turn will no doubt be beneficial for the security issues  around the world, especially within EU member states.”
