The European Union on Friday called on all parties in Iran to exercise maximum restraint amid ongoing protests and condemned any excessive use of force against demonstrators.
“We urge Iranian authorities to adhere to Iran's international obligations and fully uphold the rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly,” High Representative Kaja Kallas said in the statement issued on behalf of the EU.
“We also call for ensuring the right of access to information, including by restoring access to the internet for all,” the statement added.
The statement highlights support for the Iranian people's “legitimate demands for democracy and human rights.”
