The statement on human rights in Iran focused on the particular urgent case to save life of political prisoner Saeid Sangar. The statement reads, \u201cOne such urgent case is the case of political prisoner Saeid Sangar from city of Piranshahr. The Iranian Judiciary recently sentenced him to another 11 months in prison in Urmia after he finished serving his 20-year prison sentence for supporting the Iranian pro-democracy opposition, the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran without any temporary release.\u201d The MEPs who co-signed the statement called on the EU Foreign Policy Chief, Josep Borrell, and the EU members\u2019 states and their Foreign Ministers to: \u2022 Demand for the immediately release of Mr. Saied Sangar as well as other political prisoners and those detained in connection to popular protests in Iran. \u2022 Send a delegation to Iran to visit the prisons, meet and talk with political prisoners and detained protesters. \u2022 Make any relations with Iran and the regime contingent upon full respect for human rights in Iran. \u2022 Use the Human Rights Sanctions Mechanism, known as Magnitsky Act, to impose targeted measures against Iranian officials, who have committed serious human rights violations, as demanded by the European Parliament resolutions on Iran in the last two years, including Ebrahim Raisi, and his predecessor, Sadeq Larijani.
