Parts of this resolution read:
“The European Parliament,
having regard to its previous resolutions on Iran, notably those concerning human rights and in particular the resolution on the execution of juvenile offenders in Iran adopted on 19 June 2008,
having regard to the Declaration of 18 July 2008 by the Presidency on behalf of the European Union concerning application of the death penalty in Iran,

having regard to the Declaration of 29 July, 2008, by the Presidency on behalf of the European Union on the execution of 29 people in Evin prison in Iran,

whereas there is reason for concern that members and associates of the Iranian opposition who are regrouped and protected in Camp Ashraf in Northern Iraq by US-led MultiNational Forces under Art. 27 of the IV Geneva Convention are under threat of being expelled or forcibly returned to Iran, where they could face heavy persecution and possibly even the death penalty,
Calls on Iraqi and US authorities not to forcibly return to Iran any Iranian opposition members, refugees and asylum seekers who would be at serious risk of persecution and to notably work together with the UNHCR and others to find a satisfactory long term solution to the situation of those currently in Camp Ashraf;
Instructs its President to forward this resolution to the Government and Parliament of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Council, the Commission, the High Representative for the CFSP, the governments and parliaments of the Member States, the Secretary General of the United Nations, the UN Commission on Human Rights, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, the Government of the United States and of Iraq.
