I thank Mr. McNamara for his presentation. Since the election of Mr. Rouhani, he has emphasised the importance of human rights and promising to improve them, particularly in the status of minorities there. Does Mr. McNamara see hope in this presidency? Already, 80 political prisoners have been released. Is this the start of a new beginning?
