According to Amnesty International, “The authorities heavily suppressed the rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly. Security forces used unlawful force to crush protests. The authorities continued to arbitrarily detain hundreds of protesters, dissidents and human rights defenders, and sentenced many to imprisonment and flogging. Women, as well as ethnic and religious minorities, faced entrenched discrimination as well as violence. Enforced disappearances, torture and other ill-treatment were committed with impunity on a widespread and systematic basis. Judicial corporal punishments amounting to torture, including floggings and amputations, were imposed. Fair trial rights were systematically violated. The death penalty was used as a weapon of political repression. Executions were carried out, one in public and some others in secret. Those executed included people aged under 18 at the time of the crime. The authorities continued to commit crimes against humanity by systematically concealing the fate and whereabouts of several thousand political dissidents forcibly disappeared and extrajudicially executed in secret in 1988. Mass graves believed to contain their remains were subject to ongoing destruction.”
But Islamic supremacists everywhere point fingers at the alleged sins of others rather than acknowledge their own. If France were to take Iran’s advice, it would stop resisting jihad violence. That’s the idea.
“Iran’s human rights chief advises France to revise anti-Islamic laws,” Islamic Republic News Agency, December 19, 2021:
Tehran, IRNA – Secretary of Iranian Judiciary’s Human Rights Headquarters here on Saturday advised France to revise its anti-Islamic laws, reacting to that country’s closure of 21 mosques and news on its intention to shut down six more.
Kazem Gharibabadi made the remarks while reacting to France’s Anti-Extremism and Separationist Laws whose recent implementation has led to the closure of 21 mosques and plans to close six more.
In the western approach the terrorists who are committing crimes in Iran are freedom fighters, but religious freedom in the west equals terrorism, Gharibabadi tweeted.
We ask the French government to revise its laws that ate anti-Islamic and target the educational, prayer centers, and other public places of of 5.5 million Muslim minority of that country.
Last week the French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin in an interview with that country’s BFMT television network said in Islamophobic remarks that out of 99 mosques suspected of having extremist tendencies 21 are closed and inspections on six more mosques are in process.
The BFMT, meanwhile, reported that the mosques that have acted in accordance with the government’s directives are crossed out from the list of the suspected mosques for conducting extremist acts.
This is not the first time that the French government is resorting to antagonistic move against French Muslims and closing their mosques.
The French always resort to the extremism pretext in order to interfere in Muslims’ religious affairs, and although extremism is condemned all over the world, but there are no precise borders for it and it can be interpreted quite waywardly.

Don’t mean to sound rude Ken, but you should really think about investing into some reading glasses.
mortimer says
I’m with Ken. have the best reading glasses I can get. The texting box has a very light shade of grey on the small letters and there is no correction feature.
To the IT company: please see if you can install a ‘correction’ utility.

Typos or not, I very much agree with Ken’s point here.

What Iranian human rights abuses ??? OH, THOSE human rights abuses.
From the National Council of Iranian Resistance website:
NCRI – Iran Human Rights Monitor has compiled a report detailing the human rights situation in the country for the month of September. (2021)
It highlighted that there has been a continuation of systematic violations of human rights and mentioned in particular executions, amputations, torture and the murder of porters.
The group reported that there were 42 executions last month – 22 of which were reported in state media. It is expected that the actual number is even higher. Several of them were carried out in public in prisons across the country. At least one woman was hanged in the Central Prison of Zanjan.
In Ardebil Prison, two men were executed on 19th September. One of the men was 23 years-old and was serving a three year sentence. However, charges against him were fabricated and his sentence was changed to execution.
Fellow prisoners, in some cases, were ordered to watch executions in attempt to torture them before their own executions are carried out.
Iran Human Rights Monitor also pointed out that 14 executions took place on 20th September – the same day that Iranian President Hassan Rouhani spoke at the United Nations General Assembly, dismissing claims that there was a problem.
During the month of September, there were at least seven porters killed by border guards and in the city of Abadan an 18 year-old was shot dead. A young Baluchi man was also killed by a bullet in the Khash region.
In Zahedan Central Prison, a 22 year-old prisoner was put in solitary confinement where he was tortured by prison guards. He later committed suicide in order to put an end to the suffering he was subjected to.
Iran is still using cruel punishments on its people. For example, two prisoners were flogged before their execution in the central prison of Tabriz. The report also states: “A death row prisoner was summoned by the head of the section on September 3, and was taken to the prison courtyard. He was told that his death sentence was to be carried out and that he should get ready. He was then subjected to a mock execution and later returned to his cell.”
Hand and finger amputations were also carried out or sentenced to people who have been charged with robbery.
Religious and ethnic minorities continue to be supressed in Iran and it was reported that dozens of people, despite attending the university entrance examinations, were denied a place to study on these grounds. Particularly affected by this were members of the Baha’i community.
The report also highlighted the case of several political prisoners from ward 10 of Gohardasht Prison who have been partaking in a hunger strike for well over a month. To make the situation even worse, 11 of the prisoners had two and a half years added to their prison terms.
The health of the prisoners is deteriorating rapidly and many are suffering from low blood pressure, loss of balance, etc. The Iranian regime refuses to listen to the prisoners and continues to keep them in the same conditions.

This sounds like a joke. iran has a “human rights” guy? They don’t know from human rights in that government.
France should just say, ‘You do things your way and we’ll do things our way. If you want these mozlums to be able to go freely to a barracks and plan terror, send them the money, plane tickets, masks if you choose, and take them into your country. Then they can be “freedom fighters” right within your borders.’

Here’s what Kazem Gharibabadi Tweeted recently:
“In western approach, terrorists in Iran are human rights defenders and religious freedom in their own countries is tantamount to terrorism! The French Interior Minister: “21 mosques were currently shut and 6 will be closed soon based on laws against extremism and separatism”
https://twitter.com/gharibabadi
A complete inversion of actual human rights. Muslims just use our values for Taqiyya.

Islamic Republic of Iran’s ‘human rights’ top dog demands France stop closing jihadi mosques
………….
Human rights in Iran? Human rights *violations*, but that’s about it.
Alfredo says
“Human Rights top dog in Iran demands France to stop closing mosques.”
France should tell this hypocrite to go and take a hike to the highest crater in Iran and from there contemplate all the holes in the Standard Narrative.
OLD GUY says
Iran, “Human Rights” must be a ploy to bilk western countries into sending foreign aide money to Iran.
