Parliament adopted a resolution condemning the systematic repression of human rights in Iran, including against women and religious and ethnic minorities. It calls for the immediate release of Pakshan Azizi, Wrisha Moradi, EU nationals, and other unlawfully detained activists and prisoners of conscience. Parliament urges Iran to abolish the death penalty, end discriminatory laws and veiling requirements, and urges EU institutions not to finance campaigns promoting the hijab. It also reiterates its call on the Council to expand EU sanctions against those responsible for human rights violations in Iran.

One day of voting in plenary. Each subject is a report, resolution, agreement or objection; they are grouped by kind of decision, and each group says what “adopted” means there.
The ballots
Members vote on amendments and on parts of the text first, then on the text as a whole. That final, decisive vote is the result shown at the top of each subject.
Who voted how
Only roll-call votes record each Member’s vote — open one for every name and the breakdown by group. A show of hands records the outcome only.
Document & procedure
Each subject rests on a document (a committee report, a motion, a Council or Commission text) and belongs to a procedure, the whole file that can span years.
