Roberta Metsola, voorzitter van het Europees Parlement,
benadrukt dat het Europees Parlement hulde brengt aan de moed van alle slachtoffers in Iran met een applaus in plaats van stilte.

We support the position on Iran: A regime that has lasted so many years and killed so many people does not deserve to exist. Changes are needed.

Changes are also needed in Europe—the bloodshed that Russia started and is the only one still prolonging must come to an end. pic.twitter.com/GHIjGj0jCM

Rawan Osman
Als iets eenvoudigs als dit je in Iran kan doden — verwonden, verblinden, je dochter wegnemen — dan is de keuze al vanzelfsprekend: sta aan de kant van het volk, niet van de onderdrukkers.
En toch kijkt de wereld nog steeds zwijgend toe. De Veiligheidsraad van de VN heeft geen beslissende actie ondernomen tegen deze gewelddadige onderdrukking. Grote mogendheden hebben, afgezien van een paar verklaringen, niet ingegrepen of deze genocide‑achtige repressie krachtig veroordeeld. Terwijl de Oekraïense leiderschap oproept tot wereldwijde hulp en verandering, behandelen te veel regeringen dit nog steeds als een diplomatisch voetnootje in plaats van een menselijke catastrofe.
Help het volk — of doe niet alsof je geeft om hun lot.
Rawan Osman is een Syrië‑geboren, in Duitsland gevestigde activist, schrijver en publieke spreker die bekendstaat om haar werk rond Arabisch‑Israëlische normalisatie, vrede en het bestrijden van antisemitisme.
If something as simple as this can get you killed in Iran — injured, blinded, your daughter taken — then the choice is already obvious: stand with the people, not the oppressors.
