Human rights of women in Iran

ORAL QUESTION H-0618/06
for Question Time at the part-session in September I 2006
pursuant to Rule 109 of the Rules of Procedure
by Inger Segelström
to the Council

On Monday 12 June 2006, approximately one hundred Iranian women activists demonstrated in Teheran. They were demanding changes to the laws which discriminate against women in Iran. The demonstration was brutally broken up by police and 70 demonstrators were arrested.

 

What political condemnations will the Council make and what practical action will it take in bilateral contacts in response to the Iranian regime's violent attacks on women's rights activists and the violations of women's human rights which are taking place in Iran?
