EU ready to ban Iranian oil imports Two renowned Iranian film makers have urged the European Parliament not to endorse Mahmoud Ahmedinejad as winner of Iran’s Presidential election. Marjane Satrapi and Mohsen Makhmalbaf said the people of Iran and opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi were robbed of the vote:
“We have a document from the Interior Ministry which says votes for Mousavi: 19 million, Karoubi 13 million and Ahmedinejad five million. That is 12 percent of the vote, not 62 percent.” Speaking in Brussels, the pair also claimed that military chiefs had told Mousavi he would not become President despite getting the majority of the votes. Satrapi made the internationally-acclaimed “Persepolis”, an autobiographical graphic work. She is considered an influential figure in Iranian cinema.More about: European Union, IranCopyright © 2012 euronews
