German and European leaders condemn Iran crackdown
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle
are among those who have spoken out against Tehran's crackdown on
anti-government protesters.
In a strong statement to the press on Monday, German Chancellor
Angela Merkel called the actions of Iran's state security services
“unacceptable.”
She called on them to “avoid any further escalation of the violence
and to pursue political dialogue to peacefully settle internally
disputed matters,” and also to respect their commitment to the
International Pact on Civil and Political Rights, which guarantees the
right to peaceful protest.
