Iran to Provide World with Documents of Britain’s Human Rights Violations

A senior Iranian legislator said on Tuesday the country plans to collect evidence and documents proving Britain’s meddling in the world countries’ affairs to disclose that London’s allegations about respect for human rights are all empty and unreal.
“We in the parliament’s National Security commission will introduce human rights violation cases in Britain and the violators of these rights,” Vice-Chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Hossein Ebrahimi said on Tuesday.

“We will unveil Britain’s meddling in the affairs of all countries based on documents,” Ebrahimi stated.

The remarks by Ebrahimi came after British Foreign Secretary William Hague told Britain’s Parliament last week that Tehran has helped Syria suppress anti-government protests.

He also claimed that London had “credible information” Iranian government had provided paramilitary training to Syrian security forces.

In response, Ebrahimi said, “We are not interfering in Syria, rather Britons are meddling in Yemen and Libya and committing crimes in Bahrain.”

On Thursday, Iran summoned Britain’s top diplomat in Tehran to protest at Hague’s accusations.

An Iranian Foreign Ministry official told British Charge d’affaires Jane Marriott that the accusations leveled by William Hague were “without any evidence or reason”.

“There is no justification for the British government to raise such charges against other countries because of its own meddlesome measures and destructive role in developments in the region, especially the training of military forces in some countries in order to suppress the people,” the Iranian foreign ministry official stated.

Hague’s claims came nearly two weeks after the British government admitted that the Saudi troops sent to Bahrain to crush the popular uprisings in the tiny Persian Gulf island have had British military training.

The British Ministry of Defense admitted that members of the Saudi Arabian National Guard dispatched to Bahrain have received military trainings from the British Armed Forces in Saudi Arabia.

Britain keeps a large and secretive military training team in Saudi Arabia. British military personnel advise and teach the kingdom’s forces in areas, including crowd control and suppression.
