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.”
