A number of Christian and Muslim thinkers from 55 countries attended the conference held on the on the occasion of the American Human Rights Revision and Disclosure Week in Iran, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
Participants in this conference stressed the US claims on defending human rights merely a big lie and that the US is pursuing its interests in different countries.
The American Human Rights Week in Iran marks a series of tragic incidents that killed hundreds of Iranians in the early years after the 1979 Islamic Revolution one of the most tragic of them being the 1988 shooting of an Iranian airliner by the US navy that killed all the 290 passengers on board.
Mohammad Hosseini, Iran’s Vice-President for Parliamentary Affairs called the US the biggest violator of human rights and noted,” Supporting human rights has always been a claim by the United States of America. This has led the US towards instrumental use of human rights in the international arena.”
Taha Mujahed, Yemeni political activist in an interview with PressTV said,” The US always seeks to dominate other countries under the pretext of human rights. whenever it sees its interests in danger it makes instrumental use of the human rights to achieve its sinister objectives.”
Iranian officials and experts believe that the gravest violation of human rights is to politicize the issue and this is exactly what the United States has done American Human Rights Week is a jab at Washington to quest its double take on human rights and to expose it to the world.
The American Human Rights Revision and Disclosure Week in Iran also marks the 1989 bombing of the headquarter of Iran’s Islamic Republic party carried out by the anti-Iran Mujahedin-e-Khalq terrorist Organization (MKO) killing 75 chief officials including the then justice chief Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti.
