'World is disgusted by US'
14/07/2005 10:54 - (SA)
Tehran - Iran said on Thursday the United States is in no position to
criticise human rights elsewhere, after President George W Bush wanted
Tehran to free jailed journalist Akbar Ganji and let him seek medical care
after a month-long hunger strike.
"The White House talks about the violations of human rights in Iran while
the world is disgusted by the breaches of human rights carried out by US
forces in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib prisons, also by the wide-spread
discriminations in the US and minorities rights' violations," newspapers
quoted foreign ministry spokesperson Hamid Reza Asefi as saying.
Asefi also repeated his warning against US officials not to interfere in
Iran's domestic affairs.
"The US officials have repeatedly seen the bitterness of interfering in
Iran's internal affairs, as Iranians have responded negatively and
decisively."
A group of around 100 people, among them prominent dissident academic Hashem
Aghajari, held a small rally outside Tehran University Tuesday to call for
the release of Ganji.
Ganji has so far has managed 33 days of hunger strike and according to his
wife he is determined to continue until he is granted "unconditional
release."

It depends on which side of things you are talking. Some groups can
say that certain religions are doomed to eternal hellfire, and can say
so on their radio programs............ and no-one in authority is
prepared to do anything about it. Others, when they criticise another
religion, get hauled before the courts.
All sides of that particular debate are nuts, BTW.

Yes that's true at times but it's still the best country on the planet.
