Iran's Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani censures the brutal crackdown of the UK police on protesters in the recent UK unrest, saying Western countries adopt dual attitude on human rights....which are usually open to widely divergent definitions...
The recent events in Britannia and remarks by British officials who called protesters "thugs and hooligans" were a clear example of the West's "contradictory" attitude to human rights issues, Larijani said on Wednesday.
He highlighted the significance of making a revision in ties with Western countries which oppose the Islamic Theocratic
Republicand with those who adopt contradictory stance on political issues and human rights.
It is necessary for Mohammedan countries, particularly Iran, to reconsider their interaction with Western countries to establish wise relations with the West.
The unrest in Britannia broke out on August 6 in the north London suburb of Tottenham, after a few hundred people gathered outside a cop shoppe to protest against the fatal shooting and killing of a black man, Mark Duggan, by the police.
Thereafter, violent protests erupted in major cities like Birmingham, Liverpool, and Bristol, contributing to Britannia's worst unrest since the 1980s.
