For weeks now, the world has been witnessing the incredible courage of the women of Iran, as the brutal killing of Mahsa Amini has catalyzed massive protests against a regime that compulsively controls the bodies, minds and lives of women — a regime that has responded to the uprising with lethal brutality. The time for press releases is long gone — it is time for European leaders to act.
- Instead, the protests are spreading, and Persian, Azeri, Kurdish women, many of them very young, are paying the ultimate price for freedom with their lives.
- Where is High Representative Josep Borrell?
- Where is Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission?
- Borrell should call for an extraordinary meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council to take swift action, signaling that the EU stands on the side of Iranian women.
- The people of Iran should never doubt the EU’s commitment to freedom and democracy for all.
