Former #Iran hostages sent a letter to SwedishPM Ulf Kristersson “expressing deep concern over the ongoing lack of meaningful action” to free Ahmadreza Djalali.

Djalali, a 🇸🇪 citizen, is being held as a hostage in the notorious Evin Prison for more than 2,900 days

The EP calls for the snapback of all UN sanctions unless Iran abides by an ultimatum to comply with the nuclear deal. It also wants the IRGC finally listed.

It's high time the EU pushes back against this terror regime.

#Iran : When will Josep Borrell Fontelles wake up?

➡️ The IRGC must be classified as a terror organisation
➡️ We must not pretend that this regime legitimately represents the people of Iran

These demands are included in our joint resolutions and they must finally be implemented!

The speech by Guy Verhofstadt was exceptionally compelling:
1. We reject your approach towards the Islamic Republic, Josep Borrell Fontelles.
2. We demand the designation of #IRGCterrorists as a terrorist organisation.
3. We oppose any negotiations with the mullahs.

📜73 years ago the Treaty of Paris marked the first step towards European integration in the aftermath of WWII.

How?
By setting up the European Coal and Steel Community, allowing for the free flow of coal and steel.

It was signed by 6 countries: 🇧🇪 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇱🇺 🇳🇱.

Throughout the day we will show our solidarity and support for Johan’s case and…

The European Commission , the UK, and Canada should designate the #IRGC as a terrorist organisation. Curtailing their operations would enhance global security.
