PARIS, Aug 12 (Reuters) – The EU and 26 countries condemned Iran’s executions of protesters in a joint statement, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said on Wednesday.
The countries called on Iran to listen to its people, take meaningful steps toward ensuring respect for human rights, immediately end use of the death penalty and release those arbitrarily detained.
