»Europas Iran-Dilemma« Ein Abend mit Michel Friedman, Ali Fathollah-Nejad & Reza Asghari

While protests in Iran are being bloodily crushed and people are being systematically executed, Europe is struggling to maintain its stance. Sanctions are being weighed up, diplomatic channels are being kept open and at the same time humanitarian admission programs are being restricted. How credible is a values-based foreign policy when security and economic interests dominate? When does dialogue become the tacit legitimization of repression? And what responsibility does Europe have towards those who risk their lives for freedom?

With Michel Friedman ("Mensch! Declaration of Love by a Desperate Democrat" // Berlin Verlag and others): Political scientist and publicist Ali Fathollah-Nejad ("Iran - How the West betrays its values and interests" // Aufbau Verlag) and Reza Asghari, economist and member of the German Bundestag.

Organizer: The Munich Circle e.V. // in cooperation with the Stiftung Literaturhaus
