“In dealing with the riots, Iran has shown maximum self-restraint and – unlike many Western regimes” the Iranian Foreign Ministry says among other things
Iran has shown “utmost restraint” in dealing with ongoing anti-regime protests in the country, Iran’s foreign ministry said on Thursday in response to the international outcry sparked by Tehran’s execution of a protester. Mohsen Sekari was sentenced to death for wounding a member of the security forces with a knife and for blocking a road in Tehran during the protests.
The execution, which was widely condemned by Western powers, was the first carried out by Iran in connection with the country’s ongoing protests.
“In dealing with the riots, Iran has shown maximum restraint and – unlike many Western regimes that vilify and violently suppress even peaceful protesters – Iran has used proportionate and formal methods against the riots,” Iran’s foreign ministry said. on Twitter.
“The same applies to the judicial process: restraint and proportionality. However, public safety is the red line,” he added.
The ministry’s claim of restraint comes as Iran’s crackdown on protests has left hundreds of people dead and thousands arrested, according to rights groups.
