The oppression of minorities in Iran, the Azerbaijani community as a symbol of Iranian tragedy
An international conference “The oppression of Minorities in Iran: The Azeri community as an example” was organised at the European Parliament by the AZfront organization and EPP group. The conference was attended by 6 MEPs and 5 high-level speakers including human rights organizations as well as experts and researchers in Iran from France, Belgium and Israel.
The participants watched a video showing an Iranian Azeri woman sharing a testimony about the discrimination she endures on a regular basis: linguistic, cultural and political, including strict rules concerning modesty (hijab is forced on all women in Iran regardless of their culture or creed).
