Further, In a letter to the Presidents of the European Council, the European Commission, and the High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs, 22 members of the European Parliament have called on EU officials, including Josep Borrell, not to participate in the Forum in early March.
In the letter, lawmakers (6 from Poland, 4 from Spain, 2 from Italy, 2 from Slovakia, and others from the Netherlands, Sweden, Slovenia, Lithuania, Czechia, France, Belgium) wrote that EU officials should not take part in the forum because of the continued flagrant human rights violations in Iran.
“We, furthermore, call on the EU to take urgent action to save the lives of death row prisoners, as the executions are carried out by the Iranian authorities despite an international outcry and calls, including those of the European Parliament,” according to the statement.

The outstanding Swedish politician also asked his counterparts to repeat after him: “I support the aspirations of the Iranian people who want to live in a free, stable, inclusive, and democratic country.”
