Iran slams human rights report as baseless

The Secretary of Iran's High Council for Human Rights Mohammad Javad Larijanihas blasted a report by a UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights situation in Iran.

Ahmed Shaheeds reports are collection of baseless accusations,which have been gathered from a group of terrorism-related references, IRIB quoted Larijani as saying on Wednesday.

He added that Shaheed is a media puppet and his cohorts are terrorists who pose as human rights activists, hence Iran does not accept his appointment and pays no attention to his reports.

He also noted that Iran is the most democratic nation in West Asia and only pays heed to the UNUniversal Periodic Reviews.

In his recent report, Shaheedaccused Iran of human rights violations and censured the execution of drug traffickers.

Under pressure from the US and its allies, the UN Human Rights Council named the former Maldivian foreign minister as its human rights investigator for Iran inJune2011.
