‘Shaheed report supportive of terrorists’

“In the report that is submitted to this council, it contains explicit, numerous, reiterated support for notorious terrorist groups, which are responsible for tens of deaths of our people just in the recent years,” Larijani told Press TV.

The Iranian official also added that a recent report released by UN Rights Rapporteur Ahmed Shaheed on the rights situation in Iran is biased.

“He [Shaheed] does not mention a single word about our scientists, who have been subjected to the assassination which is plotted by the United States and applied by these terrorist groups,” Larijani said.

“How our people should feel about a rapporteur, who does not enjoy the slightest sympathy within a nation, which lost their young beloved scientists and engineers,” he added.

In June 2011, the UN Human Rights Council, under pressure from the US and its allies, named former Maldivian Foreign Minister Ahmed Shaheed as its human rights investigator on Iran.

In his latest report on March 7, Shaheed claimed that Iran has demonstrated a striking pattern for violating fundamental human rights.

Tehran insists that the appointment of a UN Special Rapporteur on Iran’s human rights is a selective, politically-motivated and unacceptable move.

Iran also blames the Western governments, the US administration in particular, for persistently violating international laws, disregarding basic rights of their citizens and backing violations of human rights by despotic regimes across the globe.
