The High Council for Human Rights, has issued a statement, voicing extreme concern over the violation of rights of those detained in a protest in the US capital on Thursday.
The statement reads as follows:
On the day when the Leader of the Islamic Revolution spoke of the decline of the United States and likened the current US situation to that of the Titanic cruise, Westerners did not believe that in the near future there would be signs of the collapse of the American regime from within the United States.
Wednesday events in Washington proved to everyone that the decline of the United States is not only a fact, but the downfall is the true destiny of the arrogant and weak US regime, which even the power of the atomic bomb and the B-52 and the dollar can not slow down the decline of the arrogant regime.
The forty-sixth president of the United States must take the oath of office in different circumstances, and instead of applauding, he must begin his presidency with a minute of silence over the killing of American citizens whose blood was shed by US rulers in the Capitol Hill.
Fair and impartial observers see the silence of the UN Secretary-General and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in the face of human rights abuses in the United States as a green light to the abusers and urge them not to sacrifice more American people rights to the interests of those in power in the United States.
Iran's High Council for Human Rights, while expressing strong concern about the violation of the rights of detainees and their ill-treatment during interrogation and forced confession, as at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib prisons, emphasizes that the adherence of the US regime to its commitments regarding the right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, as well as to ensuring the protection of the rights of American citizens, is the responsibility of every group and current that wields power in Washington.
