GENEVA: The participation of Iranian Justice Minister Alireza Avayi in the meetings of Human Rights Council in Brussels has triggered wide-spread loud diplomatic and human rights objections.
In a statement, the US delegation to the United Nations disclosed that it feels terrified at Avai’s presence at the session, citing that, at the end of the 1980s, Avayi had overseen execution operations against innocent Iranians.
The US delegation said that Avayi, in his current capacity as justice minister, oversees arbitrary arrests, detentions of Iranian political, human rights activists in the political, and rights fields, adding that he is detaining Iranians in death cells where they are tortured and deprived of medical care.
Organizations of Iranians overseas arranged here today demonstrations at the EU headquarters in the UN, calling for the prosecution of the Iranian justice minister for committing grave violations and crimes of human rights.
