…even Iran is criticizing Human Rights violations in Canada.
“The use of various violent tools and ways to counter a peaceful rally is by no means justified. The move by the Canadian government is a blatant breach of basic rights of citizens to freedom of expression,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said on Tuesday.
The spokesperson also warned against the “new and dangerous” approach adopted by Canada toward the civil rights of its citizens, expressing Iran’s profound concern over a lack of life security and a possible violation of rights of those arrested in that country during the last few days.
Andrew, you’re not suggesting that the police were not justified in their reaction to the G20 riots, are you? The rioters were lucky that the police did not use live ammunition when they set police cars on fire.
Good question Ryan. I think the police were absolutely justified in their responses to the rioters. I would have supported them going even further. However, the other crap they did to people who were nowhere near any of the hotbeds of activity certainly gives cause for concern.
This is the same Iran that has a spot on the UN panel on women’s rights right? Wow.
