Half a Year of Feminist Revolt in Iran

The women-led revolt in Iran calls for the respect for and implementation of Iranians’ basic human rights and political freedoms. The EU must take a strong stance against the execution of peaceful protesters and gross violations of fundamental rights, using all the instruments at its disposal.
