The case of the Iranian female athletes who were forced to leave their delegation and seek protection abroad starkly reminds us of the oppression experienced by women in Iran and of the courage of those who resist with dignity.
The cause of democracy and rights in Iran belongs to the Iranian people themselves and to the women and men who struggle within their own country.
We express our solidarity with the women of Iran who are fighting for freedom, equality, and dignity.
We reiterate that the war conducted by the United States and Israel stands in opposition to every principle of international legality. Greece must clearly condemn it and have no involvement in it. The rights of peoples are not advanced through military interventions; on the contrary, such actions bring even greater destruction.
