PRESS CONFERENCE

Hands Off Cain-Spes Contra Spem presents the dossier "THE FACES OF REPRESSION" in view of the imminent update of the EU list of persons subject to restrictive measures for serious violations of human rights in Iran. The publication describes the profiles of 23 members of the regime who, from the Khomeinist revolution to the most recent street protests, have been responsible for brutal repressions. With their inclusion on the list, the EU has the opportunity to express solidarity with the Iranian people, oppressed for 40 years, avoid complicity in the crimes committed, and preserve the credibility of its commitment to protecting and promoting human rights and the rule of law.

During the presentation of the dossier, the #bisharf campaign will also be launched, which in Persian means shame, and which will make use of social media.
