Foreign Minister Støre concerned about the situation for human rights defenders in Iran 
Støre bekymret for situasjonen til iranske menneskerettighetsforsvarere
“The rulings against Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi and human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh show that the situation for human rights defenders in Iran has become much worse,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre. 
- Dommene mot fredsprisvinner Shirin Ebadi og advokat Nasrin Sotoudeh viser at situasjonen for iranske menneskerettighetsforsvarere er blitt kraftig forverret, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Ms Sotoudeh has been detained since September, and her state of health has deteriorated markedly following repeated hunger strikes. 
Sotoudeh er blitt holdt fengslet siden september, og er sterkt svekket etter gjentatte sultestreiker.
In her work as a lawyer, she has in particular defended juveniles facing the death penalty, and she has also defended Shirin Ebadi. 
Hun har som advokat særlig engasjert seg for mindreårige dødsdømte, og har dessuten forsvart Shirin Ebadi.
The rulings against Ms Sotoudeh and Ms Ebadi follow a pattern of ever-increasing persecution of human rights defenders in Iran. 
Dommene mot Sotoudeh og Ebadi føyer seg inn i et mønster av en stadig sterkere forfølgelse av iranske menneskerettighetsforsvarere.
A number of lawyers have been detained recently, and it is currently difficult to work in the field of human rights in Iran. 
En rekke advokater er blitt fengslet den siste tiden, og det er i dag svært vanskelig å arbeide med menneskerettigheter i Iran.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has followed the cases of both Ms Sotoudeh and Ms Ebadi for a long time, not least through the Norwegian Embassy in Teheran, and it will continue to do so. 
Utenriksdepartementet har over lengre tid fulgt begge sakene, ikke minst gjennom vår ambassade i Teheran, og vil fortsette dette arbeidet.
“People like Ms Sotoudeh and Ms Ebadi play a crucial role in defending human rights.

Norway allocates NOK 20 million to human rights efforts in Eurasia 
Norge gir 20 millioner til menneskerettighetsarbeid i Eurasia
“The developments we are seeing in terms of human rights and democracy in several countries in Eurasia are worrying. 
- Utviklingen for menneskerettigheter og demokrati i flere land i Europas nærområder er urovekkende.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has entered into an agreement with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) on the provision of NOK 20 million in funding. 
Utenriksdepartementet har inngått avtale med Organisasjonen for sikkerhet og samarbeid i Europa (OSSE) om et bidrag på 20 millioner kroner.
The agreement covers a period of three years and encompasses countries in Central Asia, the southern Caucasus as well as Ukraine, Moldova and Belarus. 
Avtalen går over tre år og omfatter land i Sentral-Asia, Sør-Kaukasus, Ukraina, Moldova og Hviterussland.
“Norway works actively to strengthen respect for human rights both through direct talks with individual countries, and through multilateral organisations such as the OSCE. 
- Norges arbeider for å styrke respekten for menneskerettigheter både direkte i samtaler med enkelte land, men også gjennom multilaterale organisasjoner som OSSE.
The agreement we have now signed with the OSCE is an important part of these efforts,” said Mr Støre. 
Avtalen vi nå har inngått med OSSE er derfor viktig, sier Støre.
OSCE missions in the region implement a wide range of projects every year in areas such as human rights, justice sector reform, and combatting organised crime and human trafficking. 
OSSEs sendelag i regionen gjennomfører hvert år mange prosjekter innen områder som menneskerettigheter, justissektorreform, organisert kriminalitet og menneskehandel.
