European Parliament marks one year since the murder of Mahsa Amini.
On Monday, President Roberta Metsola opened the 11-14th September plenary session in Strasbourg with a tribute to people in Iran.
She said, “Parliament proudly stands with the brave, defiant women and men who continue to fight for equality, dignity and freedom in Iran, with 16 September marking one year since the murder of Mahsa Amini.”
President Metsola reiterated what she called Parliament’s “strongest condemnation of the Iranian regime for taking EU and dual nationals hostage.”
The MEP also called for the immediate release of EU official Johan Floderus and professor Ahmad Reza Jalali.
In a plenary debate this week, Parliament in Strasbourg “will remember and honour the legacy of Mahsa Amini and all those who have paid the ultimate price for liberty,” she concluded.
