President of European Parliament condemns five unjust executions

The President of the European Parliament Jerzy Buzek condemned the execution of five prisoners which took place on 9 May in Iran.

President Buzek said: “I was informed that five Kurdish prisoners – one of whom was a woman – were hanged in Iran on 9 May. They were convicted of various charges, including of being ‘moharebs’ or ‘enemies of God’ – a crime punishable by death under Iran’s Islamic law.

I urge Iran to carry out trials in accordance with international human rights obligations.

Iran should also respect the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

The growing number of death sentences in the past few years has contributed to a disturbing trend of intimidation towards opposition protestors.

The European Union is opposed to capital punishment under all circumstances. I strongly restate the call to introduce a moratorium on executions in Iran,” the President concluded.

    Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

  3. Thanks for giving your ideas. I would also like to mention that video games have been ever evolving. Today’s technology and innovations have made it simpler to create practical and fun games. These types of entertainment video games were not really sensible when the real concept was being attempted. Just like other styles of electronics, video games as well have had to develop as a result of many years. This is testimony towards fast development of video games.
