Re.: EU Representative visiting Iran to attend Raissi’s Inauguration

Dear Mr. Borrell,

We are shocked to learn that the European Union plans to send a senior diplomat to the Islamic Republic in Iran to attend the inauguration of Ibrahim Raisi.

While butcher Raisi has himself acknowledged the murder of political prisoners in Iran and has and demanded a reward for it, this shameful decision by the EU to attend Raisi’s inauguration, shows how European democracies in the European Union are appeasing human rights violators in Iran. In fact, EU’s decision on this matter is nothing short of taking a direct stand against the rightful and peaceful demands of the Iranian people.

The New Iran strongly condemns this action by the European Union and notes that actions like this will not be erased from the minds and hearts of the oppressed Iranian people.

Respectfully,
Dr. Iman Foroutan

Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Executive Director
The New IRAN
