Iran Dismisses EU Rights Report

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham on Wednesday dismissed allegations of human rights violation raised in a recent European Union report against Iran.

"We reject the report and at the same time call on the European Union officials to adopt a more realistic and logical approach towards Iran," she said. Her comments came after the EU criticized what it called "lack of fundamental freedoms and violations of basic human rights including women's rights" in Iran.
