TEHRAN - Iran’s Judiciary chief’s deputy and secretary general of the country’s High Council for Human Rights Kazem Gharibabadi says the silence of the so-called human rights protectors toward Zionists’ rights violations is the main reason that has emboldened the regime’s ambassador to tear up UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC)’s report on its crimes.
Gharibabadi made the remarks in a tweet in reference to a recent development in which the Zionist regime’s UN ambassador tore up a copy of the UNHRC’s annual report while delivering a speech to the world body’s General Assembly.
Gilad Erdan took the move on Friday after issuing a tirade, in which he accused the UNHRC of “obsessive anti-Israel bias” and called the report “anti-Semitic,” “distorted” and “one-sided.”
The report’s only place was “in the dustbin of anti-Semitism,” he said, before ripping up the copy and leaving the podium.
The report has presented findings of an investigative body set up to examine the devastating and deadly effects of Israel’s war against the already Tel Aviv-blockaded Palestinian territory of the Gaza Strip in May.
It said the UNHCR was “gravely concerned” about both the siege and “the widespread destruction and continued impediments to the reconstruction process by Israel” on the human rights situation.
