Tehran (ISNA) - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Nasser Kanaani stressed that the UK was in no position to preach others on human rights.

In reaction to British officials' remarks about Iran's execution of its national Alireza Akbari who had been sentenced to death over spying for the United Kingdom, Kanaani wrote on his official Twitter account, "Britain's encroachment on the national security of the Islamic republic of Iran has been met with a decisive response from the Iranian intelligence and Judiciary".

"The British regime's uproar and the support of some European self-proclaimed defenders of human rights for London is only a sign of their evasion and violation of law," he added.

"The British regime, whose royal family member, sees the killing of 25 innocent people as removal of chess pieces and has no regrets over the issue, and those who turn a blind eye to this war crime, are in no position to preach others on human rights," the spokesman went on to say.
