Bahrain Violating Majority Rights: Iran’s UN Envoy

Bahrain Violating Majority Rights: Iran’s UN Envoy
Alwaght- Iran’s envoy to United Nations, Gholamali Khoshroo, rejected the accusations brought forth by Bahrain against his country during the ongoing 70th session of the UN General Assembly, pointing out that these accusations are a ploy to cover up the human rights violations and suppression of Bahrain's majority.
He explained that "the charges brought by the Bahraini Foreign Minister against Iran regarding meddling in Bahrain's internal affairs are an attempt to cover up the human rights violations exercised by the ruling family against the majority of Bahrainis," adding that, "as long as this ruling family violates the rights of the majority, any attempts to fabricate allegations of foreign interference will not help find a solution to the problem."
Responding to the statements by the Bahraini and Emirati Foreign Ministers regarding the stances of Iranian officials towards the Mina stampede that left hundreds of Iranian pilgrims dead, Khoshroo said "the disgusting statements of both the Bahraini and Emirati ministers concerning matters that don't concern them and will not help find a solution to the discussed issue," stressing that "Iran is continuously following the approach of enhancing good neighborly relations and dialogue concerning relevant affairs."
Bahrain has been witnessing almost daily protests against the Al Khalifa dynasty since early 2011, when an uprising began in the kingdom. Since then, thousands of protesters have held numerous rallies in the streets of Bahrain, calling for the Al Khalifa royal family to relinquish power. Hundreds of prominent opposition figures, including Sheikh Ali Salman, the secretary general of al-Wefaq party, have also been imprisoned by the Bahraini regime.
Many Bahrainis have been killed and hundreds of others were injured and many more unfairly incarcerated in the ongoing crackdown on peaceful protests and dissent.
Human rights groups have slammed the Bahraini regime over its brutal crackdown.
