‘Iran will deny UN rapporteur entrance’

Press TV – July 21, 2011

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast says the Islamic Republic will not allow the UN special Rapporteur on human rights to enter the country.

“Appointing a UN special Rapporteur on human rights for Iran is a political and illegal move, and the Islamic Republic will not allow the envoy to enter the country under any circumstances,” Mehmanparast said on Thursday.

In a move spearheaded by the US, in June the UN Human Rights Council named former Maldivian Foreign Minister Ahmed Shaheed as its human rights investigator on Iran.

“Unfortunately the human rights issue is the political tool of certain Western countries which have serious problems with regards to human rights and are accused of many cases of violating human rights,” Mehmanparast added.

The Iranian official added that appointing the UN special Rapporteur on human rights for Iran aims at mounting political pressure on Tehran.

Tehran blames Western governments, the US administration in particular, for violating international laws, disregard for the basic rights of their citizens and support for violation of human rights across the globe.

  1. The UN is increasingly the tool of the Anglo-American-Israeli ruling elites.

  3. The hypocrisy of the UN is becoming so blatant it defies logical understanding. Those demons controlling the “elite” cowards in the shadows have them running in circles, which makes our job of enlightening so much easier. Every instance of deception that is exposed, every action that is taken to harm or injure innocent people and every decision clearly designed for the enrichment of these bloated oligarchs is now being exmined very closely by people who, otherwise, would have remained asleep.
    You have done a magnificent job for us, you who have appointed yourselves the “elite”. There will be a little extra money in your pay package at Christmas.
