TEXT LETTER

Dear signatories of the message of 4 November 2022 addressed to the President of the European Council,

Thank you for sharing your views and for your proactive stance vis-à-vis the case of Hossein Ronaghi-Maleki.

According to our information, Mr. Ronaghi-Maleki has been released on bail.

The EU and its Member States are monitoring the ongoing Iranian protests very closely and are united in their response to the widespread and disproportionate use of force by Iran’s security forces against nonviolent protesters.

The 25 September Declaration of the HRVP on behalf of the EU27 urged the Iranian authorities to strictly abide by the principles enshrined in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Iran is a party, and paved the way for further coordinated actions.

As part of the EU response to the killing of Mahsa Amini and the violent crackdown on the ensuing demonstrations, the Council adopted two rounds of restrictive measures against individuals and entities from Iran.

The EU will continue to use every opportunity in its direct contacts with the Iranian authorities to urge them to ensure respect for the fundamental right of all Iranians, men and women. Critical engagement will continue to play a crucial role alongside other EU tools.

Kind regards,

The EEAS Iran Division
