1 февраля: Верховный представитель ЕС Кэтрин Эштон во вторник заявила, что она "очень обеспокоена растущими притеснениями и преследованиями журналистов и интернет-блоггеров в Иране". Эштон вновь обратилась с призывом ЕС по Ирану ввести мораторий

Эштон отмечает в заявлении, что в последние несколько недель силы безопасности арестовали многих журналистов. "Я призываю иранские власти освободить этих журналистов и восстановить их права на свободное выражение мнения. Я также обеспокоена сохраняющимся вмешательством и цензурой в интернете", заявила глава ЕС по внешней политике.

"Иран вышел далеко за рамки фильтрации доступа и контента", сказала она и отметила, что три блоггера, а также один веб-разработчик, недавно были приговорены к смертной казни по обвинению в "распространении развращении на земле". Эштон вновь обратилась с призывом ЕС по Ирану рассмотреть эти предложения, чтобы остановить все ожидающие казни и ввести мораторий на смертную казнь.
