Taghribnews (TNA) - Iran says human rights tool in Europe’s political toolbox

Iran's Ambassador to Austria slammed European countries for using human rights as a political tool against other nations.

“To the Europeans: Have You ever summoned any Israeli regime’s rep. for their persistent brutal crimes against children & women? or others whose government executed 81 people in a single day? Surely not, since Human Rights is just a tool in your political toolbox!”

In the end, Baqerpour used the hashtag #DoubleStandards in his tweet.

In recent weeks, European countries have imposed several rounds of sanctions on Iran over what they call human rights violations related to the country’s response to the recent riots, as well as the baseless claim of Iran’s sending of drones to Russia for use in the war in Ukraine.
Iran has vehemently dismissed the allegations of human rights violations, saying it is dealing with foreign-backed riots that are aimed at creating division in the country.
Iran has also rejected the allegations of drone deliveries to Russia during the Ukraine war.
Tehran says it had transferred a few number of UAVs to Russia before the war began, as part of a defense cooperation with Moscow.
