Iran: UN human rights report 'politically-motivated'
Head of the Iranian Judiciary’s High Council for Human Rights Ali Baqeri-Kani has rejected the United Nations’ latest report on the human rights situation in Iran, saying it contains substantive flaws since it is politically-motivated and based on unsubstantiated allegations of terrorists tied to governments hostile to the Iranian nation.
Ali Baqeri-Kani, in a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, highlighted that the report entirely focuses on negative cases and refrains from attesting to the country's tireless efforts and measures to promote and uphold human rights.
While the report claims to be based on the information received from "non-governmental groups," studies show that its only basis is the false allegations of terrorist groups affiliated with governments hostile to Iran and the Iranian nation. The main text of the report is also prepared on the basis of provisions of those unsubstantiated accusations. In other words, the report has practically fallen into a kind of unfair prejudice as for the human rights situation in Iran, the letter said.
