News Center- On Thursday, the European Parliament adopted three resolutions on human rights issues in Hong Kong, Iran and Cambodia. The resolution on the increasing and systematic repression against women in Iran was adopted by 562 votes for, 2 against, and 30 abstentions.

The resolution urges Iranian authorities to repeal discriminatory legislation against women and girls and to dismantle the “morality police” and other repressive institutions.

The Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) demanded the immediate and unconditional release of all women's rights defenders and other victims of arbitrary detention, including EU citizens, and condemned the persecution of ethnic and religious minorities in Iran, like Baha’i women.

The European Parliament reiterated its call on the Council to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization, calling on the Iranian government to give unrestricted access to the UN Fact-Finding Mission and the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran.
