UN Watch regrets that you did not protest Iran's compulsory Hijab law, which is the most visible symbol of women's oppression. ...
As one of three ministers responsible for Sweden's declared "feminist foreign policy," we expected more from you.
We also regret that you "see no conflict" (as you told Aftonbladet) between your government's human rights policy and signing trade deals with a violent dictatorship that tortures prisoners, persecutes gays, and is a leading executioner of minors, not to mention complicit with genocide in Syria.
You have let down hundreds of thousands of women in Iran, as expressed by women's rights activist Masih Alinejad.
The damage is done, but it's not too late to speak out.
Sincerely,
UN Watch
