Press TV - Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has strongly denounced the Western states for their pretense of advocating human rights while in reality supporting terrorist groups and acts of terror.
Addressing the staff of Irans Judiciary at a meeting in Tehran on Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei made reference to human rights violations committed by the United States in various parts of the world as well as France and Britains crimes of the past decades which took place in Africa and the Indian subcontinent.
The Leader added that the Wests support over the past years for the Daesh terror group in Syria and the atrocities being committed in Myanmar and elsewhere is indicative of the repeated lies of the shameless fake human rights advocates.
Ayatollah Khamenei said when it comes to the issue of human rights, it is actually the Islamic Republic that stands in the position of the true advocate of human rights as opposed to the criminal Western pretenders.
The Leader expressed satisfaction with the Judiciarys work in restoring the Iranian nations rights in the face of bullying powers.

Systemic corruption a lie
The Leader criticized certain people who seek to create the impression among the public that there is systemic corruption within Iranian state institutions.
Corruption does exist in a number of governmental and commercial enterprises, but the existence of systemic corruption is not true, the Leader said. This wrong impression should not be allowed to affect the public opinion.
Ayatollah Khamenei further stated that foreign enemies and certain oblivious elements at home have made the Judiciary the target of the most severe propaganda and media pressure.
In order to effectively confront this massive propaganda campaign, the Leader suggested, the judicial system needs to develop a strong and skillful media arm.
