TRANSLATED STATMENT:

"The German government is appalled by the execution of blogger Ruhollah Sam, which was carried out in Iran today. Our condolences go to relatives and friends. We are shocked at the circumstances under which the conviction took place,

especially the previous abduction from abroad. The German government's position on the death penalty is clear: it is a cruel and inhuman form of punishment that we reject under all circumstances. We call on Iran to respect the right to freedom of expression of its citizens,

to release all political prisoners and not to impose or execute any further death sentences."
