That is why from my very first day in office, I have made clear in every country that, in line with feminist foreign policy, women\u2019s rights are a yardstick for the state of society. Those who oppress half of their population obviously don\u2019t set many stores by democracy. And the brutal way in which the regime has been treating women for almost four weeks now shows its lack of consideration for its own population. We see and hear horrendous examples on a daily basis: women are being abducted on the street, beaten up, and tortured, and 15-year-old girls are taken from their homes. In Iran, we are not just seeing the systematic suppression of women. Feminist foreign policy also means showing how other groups are affected. We are talking here about the rights of Sunnis, Bah\u00e1&#8217;\u00eds, Kurds, and homosexuals. I am working hard to ensure that the perpetrators of these human rights crimes are called to account, that they are not allowed to enter Europe and that their assets in the <abbr class=\"rte__abbreviation\" title=\"European Union\">EU<\/abbr> are frozen \u2013 in addition to the 550 persons and organizations currently sanctioned.

France has been particularly shocked by the violence committed against protestors, especially at Sharif University this past weekend.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8220;Iran must respect the right to peaceful protest as well as human rights, in particular the rights of women and girls, which are protected under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which was ratified by Iran.
