A spokesman for the German government said today, Monday, that Germany condemns “in the strongest terms” the violent campaign launched by the Iranian security forces against the protesters and the state’s suppression of journalists.
The spokesman went on to say that Germany supports the new sanctions the EU has placed on Iran and that Berlin is considering taking additional actions, but he did not specify when they would be taken.
Iran has been witnessing protests since the death of a 22 -year -old Kurdish woman, Muhsa Amini, in the seizure of the Ethics Police last month, which has sparked one of the most bolders of the religious leadership since the 1979 revolution.
German Foreign Minister Analina Perbuk stated on Sunday that the European Union and Germany are looking into adding the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to the list of terrorist organisations.
“We will impose another set of sanctions last week, and we’ll also look into how the Iranian Revolutionary Guards are listed as terrorist organisations.”
In another context, the New Zealand government announced today the suspension of its official bilateral dialogue on human rights with Iran, saying that the bilateral curricula “are no longer continuing” with Iran’s denial of basic human rights.
“Violence against women, girls, or any other members of Iranian society who attempt to uphold universal human rights must stop. It is evident that the Iranian people are going through a terrible time “added Mahauta.
The discussion between New Zealand and Iran started in 2018 with the explicit intention of advancing problems related to human rights. The first round of talks was held in 2021 and the next round was scheduled to be held later in 2022..
Germany denounces the use of force by Iranian security forces against protestors.
