FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Member of Majlis Presiding Board Mohammad Dehqan said on Friday that the executed Iranians did not receive a fair trial as their court hearing did not conform to the principles of international law.
Saudi officials must accept the full consequences and repercussions of their actions.
Meanwhile, Head of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Alaeddin Boroujerdi has stated that Iran will take action on the execution of Iranians in Saudi Arabia via international legal channels.
He said that Tehran reserves the right to take legal action against Riyadh.
The senior Iranian lawmaker highlighted that under Article 36 of the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations(VCCR), local authorities must inform all detained foreigners “without delay” of their right to have their consulate notified of their detention and to communicate with their consular representatives.
Saudi officials, nevertheless, executed Iranian inmates without informing Tehran and in clear violation of international rules and regulations, Boroujerdi pointed out.
Meanwhile, the Iranian Foreign Ministry plans to send a delegation to Saudi Arabia over the issue.
On April 18, Press TV reported that Saudi officials had executed eight Iranian sailors in the eastern city of Dammam without any legal proceedings.
According to the Saudi Al-Tagheer news channel, the executions were carried out on April 15 on the order of the Saudi Interior Ministry, which has been implicated in the unrest in Syria and the violence in Iraq as well.
On May 30, the Persian-language Tabnak news website reported that Saudi officials in Dammam have executed 10 more Iranian citizens.
The website added that a total of 25 Iranians are kept at Dammam prison and 18 of them have been executed in two stages.
The prisoners are Iranian sailors who were arrested on a fishing boat in international waters 70 miles off the coast of Saudi Arabia six years ago on charges of drug possession.
The serial executions came despite an April 18 telephone conversation between Iran’s Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and his Saudi counterpart, Saud al-Faisal, during which they discussed the issue and stressed the importance of exercising prudence.
