Situation of ethnic minorities in Iran (debate)

  Oldřich Vlasák (ECR). – (CS) Mr President, in the debate on minority rights in Iran we must also mention the rights of Iranians in the Iraqi refugee camp of Ashraf, 80 km from the border with Iran, where more than 3 000 people live in stressful conditions without any proper hygiene facilities and under constant pressure and threats. We must call on EU High Representative and Commission Vice-President Ashton to try to resolve this urgent situation.
