Alireza Zakani Granted Limited Visa for Brussels Metropolis Meeting
Visa Limitations and Security Measures:
To mitigate the potential risks associated with Alireza Zakani’s presence, the Belgian government imposed stringent limitations on the visas granted to the Iranian delegation. These restrictions aimed to ensure that Zakani’s participation in the Metropolis meeting would not compromise the event’s security or the overall public order. The specifics of these limitations were not divulged publicly due to security concerns.
Public Reaction and Protests:
Despite the measures taken, the visa issuance and Zakani’s subsequent presence in Brussels triggered public outrage and prompted protests from concerned individuals and human rights activists. The protesters argued that the limited visa did not adequately address the concerns associated with Zakani’s controversial past. They demanded greater transparency regarding the decision-making process and further actions to address human rights issues.
