NCRI – The Iranian regime’s foreign ministry has summoned the Greek ambassador to protest latest European Parliament resolution a human rights situation in that country.
The state-run Fars news agency reported on Sunday an official in the ministry called the resolution “uncalculated.”
Greece is now holding the presidency of the European Union.
On Thursday, the European Parliament passed a resolution expressing grave concern over the human rights situation in Iran, seeking the EU to include discussions about human rights in all of its interactions with Iran.
The Iranian regime’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif criticized the resolution Sunday, saying Iran will not accept any EU parliamentary delegation into the country with such an agenda.
On Friday, senior cleric Mohammad-ali Movahhedi-Kermani described latest European Parliament resolution on human rights violations in Iran as a ‘rant’.
Speaking on plans to open an EU Bureau in Iran, he referred to the taking of American diplomats hostage in Tehran in 1979 and said: “The Iranian people will not let a new spy den be established in Iran. Learn a lesson from the fate of the US. spy den. They should learn lessons as the American spies were blind folded and handcuffed .”
He added: “It is shameful, and they are being shameless to the highest degree. What strange expectations they have and what a strange accusations they make! Are human rights violated in Iran? For what reason are they violated? They say the election in Iran is not consistent with international standards. They impudently order that Ahmed Shaheed, an anti-Iranian agent who is the mouthpiece of colonialism, should have permission to visit Iran and incite sedition.
The hysterical reaction of the clerical regime to the European Parliament’s resolution on the human rights violations in Iran clearly indicates that torture, execution and the brutal and systematic violation of human rights are rife in Iran, and any flexibility and retreat on that issue will drastically accelerate the process of overthrowing this medieval regime.
