Iranska demonstranter överlämnade brev till UD

Iranian demonstrators gathered outside the Swedish Foreign Ministry in Stockholm to personally deliver a letter outlining political demands related to the situation in Iran The initiative followed several previous attempts to reach Swedish decision-makers and was described by participants as an act carrying both symbolic and political significance We previously sent it by mail but the fact that someone from the Foreign Ministry would come out to receive it held significant value for Iranians inside Iran And for our people and for our leader for our crown prince to see that we are striving to do a proper job and that is precisely what we are grateful that they were finally able to accept I highlight Iran's situation as an issue that according to demonstrators also impacts security in Europe It highlights intelligence threats information manipulation and influence operations that could have consequences even in Sweden This is just as significant a question for Swedish security policy The dictator's regime is just as oppressive over Iranian territory as it is over Swedish territory SEPO has highlighted these issues on multiple occasions and we have addressed such points in our letter At the same time specific political demands are being made on the government including changes to Sweden's diplomatic relations with Iran The most important thing is to recall Sweden's ambassador from Iran and expel the Islamic Republic's ambassador from Sweden The Iranian embassy is the people's home not the dictatorship's Of course not—Sweden with its long-standing commitment to human rights should not be involved in or support a dictatorship that murders children women men youth and the elderly The demonstrations ended with criticism directed at what participants perceive as inadequate attention from Swedish media regarding the situation inside Iran The Iranian people inside Iran pay with their blood to make their voice heard Now it's time for not just the people around the world to hear us It is particularly shameful that politicians the media and human rights activists have remained silent on this issue You'll get a black mark not just now but for the rest of your life This shameful silence from the media and activists feminists for human rights—you should be ashamed
