TAGS: IT PHUM PREL
SUBJECT: ITALY ON THE IRAN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL UNIVERSAL 
PERIODIC REVIEW SESSION 
 
REF: SECSTATE 7242 
 
Classified By: Political-Military Counselor J. Liam Wasley for reasons 
1.4(b) and 1.4(d) 
 
 ¶1. (C) Poloffs delivered reftel points to MFA Human Rights 
Office Director Laura Carpini and to Gulf Desk Officer Silvia 
Santangelo to seek support for U.S. views and solicit 
recommendations to affect Iranian behavior on the occasion of 
the upcoming U.N. Human Rights Council's (HRC) Universal 
Periodic Review (UPR) of Iran.  Carpini stated that the GOI 
would be active in the process and would propose 
recommendations on dealing with priority human rights issues. 
The GOI focus, reported Carpini and Santangelo, would be on 
the death penalty, and in particular the execution of minors; 
on religious and ethnic minorities, with a focus on the 
Baha'i and the Kurds; and on freedom of expression for press 
and political activists.  GOI points will also raise legal 
concern for the guarantee of due process and a fair trial. 
Carpini said it was important for all countries to ward 
against procedural traps and the apologist statements of 
other human rights violators, seeking to show political 
solidarity.  Santangelo said the GOI would submit points, but 
had not yet decided if Italy would make a statement separate 
from that of the EU. 
 
 
¶2. (C) Santangelo and Carpini both noted that the GOI had 
summoned the Iranian charge following the Ashura events; the 
Director General for Middle East Luigi Marras had asked that 
the Iranians show some sign of respect for human rights, 
according to Santangelo.  Marras reportedly also raised the 
cases of American citizens being held in Iran, information 
about which had been provided by poloff.  The Iranian charge 
responded that the events following Ashura were caused by a 
terrorist movement (the MEK was mentioned) that was 
infiltrating the country.  The Iranian police, he argued, did 
not carry weapons, thus it was not possible that the Iranian 
police had caused any deaths.  The election, he said, 
represented the will of the Iranian people and must now be 
respected. Santangelo remarked that FM Frattini has since 
called on all EU countries to summon Ambassadors for a 
similar demarche, and that EU countries were now doing so.

¶3. (C) Santangelo noted that FM Frattini's planned meeting 
with the Iranian Majlis Foreign Affairs Committee head 
Alaeddin Boroujerdi, originally scheduled for January 21, had 
been postponed until early February.  Bouroujerdi will visit 
at the invitation of Lamberto Dini, the Head of the Italian 
Senate,s Commission on Foreign Policy.  Boroujerdi,s visit 
follows on Dini,s 2007 visit to Tehran, and the invitation 
to visit Rome was reportedly long-standing.  Poloff has asked 
that Frattini raise the case of the detained American 
citizens at that meeting as well.
