Brutal repression against protesters in Iran (debate)

Mr President! For decades, people have been risking their lives in Iran for freedom, self-determination and dignity. The origin of these protests was the courageous struggle of women for their fundamental rights. On January 8, Iranian authorities shut down the internet amid nationwide protests. Since then, the truth has only reached us filtered, delayed or dampened. But one thing is clear: Thousands of demonstrators are killed and injured. Police, Revolutionary Guards and civil servants chase, mistreat and kill peaceful protesters and even the uninvolved. We need to act politically. Sanctions are not enough. We must listen to the people of Iran and also here in Europe and must not hesitate any longer in the face of this brutal action. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard must be classified as a terrorist organization. That would be more than a symbol. It would have economic consequences, very concretely, and would significantly limit the power of this violent regime. And we have to act humanly. Talk about it! Give the Iranians a voice. Make them visible! Women, life, freedom.

For the sake of transparency, we have very many catch-the-eye requests. So if you request a blue card now, it might be that you might not be given a catch-the-eye afterwards. You don't know exactly if you will have it anyway, so it's up to you to make a choice. But I just want to be very transparent that we cannot have more than a dozen catch-the-eyes.
