IRAN - EU Parliament adopts resolution condemning Iran's use of death penalty
January 23, 2025 - IRAN. EU Parliament adopts resolution condemning Iran's use of death penalty
The European Parliament adopted a resolution on Thursday condemning what it called Iran's systematic human rights abuses, highlighting the use of the death penalty against Kurdish activists Pakhshan Azizi and Varisheh Moradi.
Azizi and Moradi were sentenced to death for “armed rebellion against the state” after what the resolution described as “unfair trials” involving “torture and solitary confinement.”
The European Parliament demanded their immediate and unconditional release, along with at least 56 other political prisoners on death row in Iran.
The resolution passed with overwhelming support, receiving 556 votes in favor, 6 against, and 42 abstentions.
