European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Saturday called for imprisoned Iranian protesters to be released as demonstrations against the government in Tehran continued across the country, APA reports citing Politico.
Europe stands “fully behind” Iranian protesters, von der Leyen said in a post on X. “We unequivocally condemn the violent repression of these legitimate demonstrations.” She called for the immediate release of imprisoned demonstrators and the restoration of internet access, which has been unavailable in Iran since Thursday.
