Larijani condemns UN chiefˈs anti-Iran report

Speaker of the Iranian Majlis Ali Larijani on Saturday condemned a recent anti-Iran human rights report by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, terming the it as ˈshameful.ˈ

According to IRNA, on March 11, the UN chief in a new report to the UN human rights council, accused President Hassan Rouhaniˈs administration of having failed to improve the situation of human rights in the country.
The UN chief claimed in the report that he was particularly concerned about what he called the increased use of capital punishment in Iran.
Commenting on the report during the Majlis open session this morning, Larijani said the report was released ˈunder an organized cultural and political propaganda called modern hypocrisy.ˈ
the speaker also said, ˈThey target anywhere they wish on the pretext of the so-called global and humanitarian norm,ˈ asking, ˈIs this a global norm to defend smugglers of narcotic drugs.ˈ
The speaker also said that the Iranian MPs have condemned recent moves of the Zionist regime against the oppressed people of Palestine.
Israeli regime fighter jets struck several targets in the city of Rafah, 30 kilometers South of Gaza on Thursday injuring several Palestinians.

The Zionist warplanes also hit several locations in Gaza Strip on Wednesday.
