French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot announced a joint statement by the European Union and 26 countries condemning Iran's executions of protesters. The statement, released on Wednesday, calls on Iran to listen to its people, take meaningful steps to respect human rights, immediately end the death penalty, and release all arbitrarily detained individuals. NDTV reports the group includes the UK, France, and over 30 other countries, joined by the EU's top diplomat. The difference in numbers likely reflects which nations signed on at the time of reporting.
