SUBJECT: ICELANDIC STATEMENT ON AKBAR GANGI: ONLY IN
COORDINATION WITH EU
REF: STATE 42097
Post presented reftel request (for a statement calling for
the release of Iranian journalist Akbar Ganji) to Icelandic
MFA Head of International Institutions Division Nikulas
Hannigan March 16. Hannigan stated that the Government of
Iceland does not have a tradition of making statements on
individual foreign affairs issues. Typically, it will align
itself with European Union statements, as it did with a
November 2005 EU declaration dealing with the issue of
Iranian political prisoners. Hannigan said he had asked his
colleagues in Brussels to watch for an EU request to join in
making a statement on Ganji and that Iceland would probably
sign on if one were forthcoming.
