European Students Union: Boykottiert Iran!

Viel zu selten hört man Stimmen der Solidarität mit den iranischen Freiheitskämpfern aus der europäischen Zivilgesellschaft. Folgende Stellungnahme der European Students Union ist  eine erfreuliche Ausnahme  (hier der ganze Text):

Please show solidarity with the people of Iran. One way to do this is by asking the governments of Europe, your local council, community organizations, human rights groups, educational institutions, student organizations and other members of our democratic civil society to play a more involved role in supporting the democratic grassroots movement. In light of the scale of the recent atrocities and the continuous pleas of the people we argue that:

1)    Governments must not remain silent about human rights abuses and should discontinue diplomatic and economic relations with the Iranian regime.

2)    Human rights groups and community organizations need to take a more active role in pressuring the Iranian regime to respect human rights.

3)    Academics from all disciplines must recognize the fact that their voices are among the most important and influential and that their peers in Iran desperately need their solidarity.

4)    Student organizations of all kinds need to prepare activities which will raise awareness of the plight of their fellow students in Iran and assist them in realizing their goal of a free and democratic Iran.

Hoffentlich wachen endlich auch andere Studentenvereinigungen, Gewerkschaften und Menschenrechtsorganisationen auf!
