 NCRI – Iranian regime will halt its human rights dialogue with the
European Union, according to mullahs’ foreign ministry spokesman, after
it condemned continued abuses by the regime.
"During the current year, the EU has put forward human rights
resolutions with political intentions, and naturally this trend will
leave no place for Iran to continue human rights talks," state-run
media quoted the spokesman on Thursday.
He described EU’s condemnation of human rights abuses in Iran as an
“unconstructive approach” and threatened “it is clear that they will
bear the consequences,” and added that the regime “will not allow other
countries to meddle in its internal affairs."
The EU presidency condemned the ongoing abuses in Iran in a statement
issued on Tuesday which said: "The EU is deeply concerned that the
human rights situation in Iran has not improved in any significant
respect in recent years, and in many respects has worsened.”
The EU began a human rights dialogue talks with Iranian regime in 2002
but has voiced disappointment at the lack of progress and the fact that
Tehran has agreed to no new talks since 2004. |
