“The Islamic Republic of Iran considers the European Union’s move to issue a joint statement at the Human Rights Council to be unacceptable,” Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“Such a statement with a selective and baseless stance lacks validity and credibility,” the Iranian official said, adding that the EU statement fundamentally runs counter to the approach to promotion of human rights.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“Any abuse of the human rights mechanisms and interference in the internal affairs of Iran would be unacceptable,” Khatibzadeh was quoted as saying by Tasnim news agency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“’It’s not anything new that some European states are silent and indifferent in the face of the gravest violations of human rights by themselves and their allies.
