The Foreign Ministry’s reaction to the fact-finding committee’s report on the suppression of public protests is fundamentally rejected.
Nasser Kanaani, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, in his first official reaction to the international fact-finding committee’s report, strongly condemned it and considered it a repetition of baseless claims based on incorrect information, lacking legal validity, and rejected it.
On Saturday, March 9, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson accused this committee of fabricating lies and receiving money to write a report about the suppression of public protests in Iran. He said the so-called fact-finding delegation, which was formed with the ridiculous human rights display of some Western countries, especially Germany, and with their donated money in December 2022 after the failure of the internal destabilization project in Iran, by publishing a report containing an organized collection of distortions of reality and fabrications, not only did not fact-find but also purposefully portrayed the facts in a distorted manner.
According to the United Nations fact-finding committee’s report, published on Friday, March 8, the Islamic Republic, in the course of suppressing last year’s protests in Iran, has committed crimes against humanity with new instances of human rights violations.
