WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2985/97 by Bernd LANGE to the Commission. Human rights violations in Iran  


Official Journal C 117 , 16/04/1998 P. 0122 





WRITTEN QUESTION P-2985/97 by Bernd Lange (PSE) to the Commission (15 September 1997)Subject: Human rights violations in IranA number of Iranian newspapers have carried reports in recent months of strikes in Iranian industrial concerns in the course of which strikers have been arrested by the secret service. There are also reports that inmates of the Shiraz, Tabriz and Esfahan prisons have been going on hunger strike since June 1997 and have been tortured and placed in solitary confinement as a result.1. Is the Commission aware of these events? What recent instances of repression in Iranian jails are known to the Commission? How has it responded? What further action is it planning?2. What information does the Commission have about the start and the nature of the trial of the author, Faradj Sarkuhi, who has disappeared?3. What action will the Commission be taking in the light of these human rights violations in Iran as regards the resumption of diplomatic relations with that country?4. Does the Commission concur with the British author, Salman Rushdie, that the EU Member States should not return their ambassadors to Iran until the Iranian Government has given a formal, written guarantee of its renouncement of the fatwa?Answer given by Mr Marin on behalf of the Commission (1 October 1997)The Commission has no diplomatic representation in Iran and therefore no first-hand knowledge of the wave of strikes in Iranian industrial factories reported in the press.The Commission's view is that the European Union should seek a constructive approach with Iran but that progress can be made only if Iran respects the norms of international law and refrains from acts of terrorism. This is consistent with the Union's decision to suspend the critical dialogue with Iran after the April 1997 finding of the Berlin court on the Mykonos case.The Union has unequivocally condemned the Fatwa against Salman Rushdie. This issue, as well as the trial of Faradj Sarkouhi and the return of the Member States' ambassadors to Tehran, are currently being discussed in the framework of the common foreign and security policy.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2981/97

by Patricia McKenna (V) to the Commission

(1 October 1997)

Subject: Radioactive pollution from the Sellafield nuclear complex in Britain

The  New  Scientist  (10  May  1997)  gives  details  of  a  study  tracking  how  radioactive  pollution  from  Britain(cid:146)s
nuclear complex at Sellafield has spread through the Arctic Ocean into the waters of northern Canada.

The study was led by Mike Brewers of the Bedford Institute of Oceanography in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It was
prepared for a recent conference on radioactivity in the Arctic in Tromso, Norway.

One of the conference organizers, Per Strand of the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority, has estimated
that Sellafield has released 40 000 billion becquerels of caesium-137 into the environment. According to him,
about 15 000 billion becquerels of that radioisotope have reached the Arctic. This would be two to three times
higher than the contamination brought to the Arctic from Chernobyl via the Baltic and North Seas.

Has  the  Commission  studied  the  data  compiled  on  this  matter?  What  action  will  it  take  to  ensure  that  the
radioactive pollution caused by Sellafield ceases?
