Beatriz Becerra MEP
supports “Free Iran” rally for human rights
NCRI - A Spanish Member of the European Parliament has called
for the public to attend the Iranian resistance rally in Paris next month.
Beatriz
Becerra, who is Vice-Chair for the European Parliament’s subcommittee on Human
Rights, said that 80 million Iranian citizens are suffering serious suppression
of their human rights.
The
“Free Iran” gathering on July 9, will highlight the lack of human rights in Iran and
provide a chance for policymakers, heads of state and religious leaders to come
together to try and right the problem.
She
said: “I would like to be there at this amazing rally that will serve as an
example for the world. I would like to say also that I am very concerned about
the state of human rights in Iran, especially for women.”
Becerra,
a member of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, is very
concerned about the women in Tehran who are being targeted by more than 7,000
so-called ‘morality police’ for improper veiling.
She
is one of the 270 MEPs who signed a letter asking the EU to condition their
trade and diplomatic relations with Iran on their improvements to human rights.
She
said: “I think that all the assumptions on the extension, on openness in Iran
has to be under this code of human rights.”
