Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations, in a statement released here on Friday warned about discrediting UN Human Rights Council by alleged politically motivated reports on Iran, IRNA reported
The statement is Tehran’s response to the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran Ahmed Shaheed’s alleged report on violation of human rights by IR of Iran, handed out among the UN General Assembly delegations this week.
‘The UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran Ahmed Shaheed’s alleged report on human rights situation in IR of Iran is unrealistic and politically motivated and will discredit this council.’ The statement added that some hostile European countries, as well as the US, were behind the appointment of the special rapporteur on human rights in Iran.
‘Although the Islamic Republic has answered Mr. Shaheed’s claims in a 75-page report, but the special rapporteur did not include Tehran’s answers in its latest reports; Shaheed Report allegedly claims that Yahoo and Gmail services in Iran are restricted but this is completely wrong; since Iran is under large amount of cyber attacks, it is forced to make some limitations over Internet and in the cyber world and this is for security reasons and defending the country against the terrorist’s cyber attacks.’
