Tehran (ISNA) - In reaction to the French president's recent unconstructive stance, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said, unfortunately, officials of some European countries have reduced human rights to objects for their political games in order to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries and "we condemn this destructive approach."

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed, "Just as we have announced repeatedly, the sound policy of the Islamic republic of Iran has always been based of responsibility, respect and adherence to the basic principles of human rights including protection of human dignity, fighting bullying and defending the oppressed."

Kanaani noted that this is while the fake defenders of human rights are accomplices in gross rights violations because they give sanctuary to the leaders and members of terrorist groups in their countries and support them and keep silent on the daily massacre of Palestinians by the child-killer Zionist regime and back the aggressor and the occupier.

He added that unfortunately, France has described the reaction of Muslims to the desecration of the Holy Quran and their religious beliefs as an attack on laïcite (secularism) under the pretext of defending freedom of speech.

Kanaani underlined that France has forgotten that countering criticisms of the Zionist regime constitutes a gross violation of freedom of speech. He said obviously, such contradictory behaviors and double standards are not and cannot be hidden from the free and independent nations of the world.
