IRNA – Senior Iranian official criticized the UN Human Rights Council's anti-Iran efforts and said that appointing special rapporteur on human rights is politically motivated.


Appointment of special rapporteur on human rights in Iran is politically-motivated and unjust, Head of the Iranian Judiciary's Human Rights Council Mohammad Javad Larijani said on Monday.
