TEHRAN – The Iranian Foreign Ministry on Sunday described the discovery of another mass grave of indigenous children in Canada as a “great human tragedy” and a blatant example of “genocide” in a country whose government resorts to hypocritical and deceptive shows to pretend support for human rights.

“These major and heinous crimes have been committed in a country whose government has, by putting on deceptive and hypocritical shows, always tried to create the impression that it is an advocate of human rights and express its opinion as an interventionist country about 

developments in other countries as if they were beholden to it,” ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said.
The spokesman said the Canadian government’s slogans and claims are aimed at shifting the blame onto others and deflecting attention from its complicity in this human tragedy and bear testimony to the fact that this government and its allies are using human rights as a tool to impose their biased political viewpoints on others.
Kanaani expressed regret and deep concern over the large extent of these crimes and historic genocide while sympathizing with the Canadian indigenous community, saying, “These crimes against humanity will never remain undisclosed to true justice-seekers around the world, and the Canadian government should be held accountable for its dark past.”
