Jeg vil imidlertid gerne oplyse, at der netop dagen før et besøg af et hold eksperter fra EU i Iran fandt en serie på fem offentlige henrettelser sted, der blev meddelt af alle aviser (og jeg håber, at rådsformanden ikke siger, at han ikke ved, hvad der står i aviserne), hvad der tydeligt demonstrerer, at de iranske myndigheder ikke er indstillet på at vige en tomme i deres opfattelse af menneskerettighederne.
I should like, however, to inform you that precisely on the eve of a mission to Iran by EU experts in October, a series of five public executions took place in Iran, which were reported in the world's press. I hope, incidentally, that the President-in-Office of the Council is not going to say that he was unaware of what was being said in the press.
