Mehmanparast: US is major violator of religious rights

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, Nov 19, IRNA -- Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast on Friday denounced the US abusing religion, calling the country as major violator of religious rights.

Commenting on recent report of the US State Department on religious liberties worldwide including its claim of violation of religious minorities’ rights in Iran, Mehmanparast ruled out the allegations and highlighted enormous cases of human rights violations by the US.

The US’ all-out support for Zionist regime’s crimes against followers of Islam, Christianity and Judaism, has turned Washington into supporter of biggest systematic and state-sponsored operations for religious rights violations, said Mehmanparast.

The US government voices concern over condition of some false and the UK-Zionist made groups, using highly doubtful 9/11 incident as a pretext and promoting Islamphobia through speeches of its senior officials, said Mehmanparast, adding that the US is major violator of religious rights of followers of Islam in Muslim states, including Iraq and Afghanistan, and has opened the way for violation of religious rights of followers of Islam in the US, especially Europe.

The topics raised in recent Human Rights Council meeting reveal massive violation of human rights, including religious rights, in the US, concluded Mehmanparast.
