During the European Parliament’s plenary session in Strasbourg, in a debate titled “Brutal Repression of Protesters in Iran,” PiS MEP Adam Bielan emphasized that the situation in Iran has direct consequences for international security, including that of Poland and the entire European Union.
“The situation in Iran is not only a matter of human rights, but also the security of my country, Poland. The Ayatollahs’ regime has been a strategic ally of Putin for years. Iranian drones and missile technology support the Russian war machine, threatening our borders,” said the head of the Law and Justice delegation in the European Parliament.
The MEP emphasized that leniency toward dictators endangers EU citizens, and that sanctions against Tehran and Moscow remain insufficient.
“We are witnessing what are likely the largest protests against the Ayatollahs’ rule. Despite numerous calls for restraint, the regime is carrying out mass repression and committing crimes against humanity. At least several thousand people have been killed, including children. I am also concerned about the increasingly severe persecution of Christians,” he emphasized.
Adam Bielan reported on the measures taken to support the Iranian opposition.
“I have signed a motion to invite one of the leaders of the Iranian opposition, Reza Pahlavi, to the European Parliament. I ask the President to act on this urgently,” the MEP added.
Bielan stressed that Europe cannot remain passive in the face of escalating repression and the threats arising from Iran’s alliance with Russia.
