Tehran, Iran, Jun. 14 Irans Foreign Ministry will soon publish a report outlining human rights violations in the European Union and the United States, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki announced on Tuesday.
The Foreign Ministry has prepared a comprehensive report on the violations of human rights in the U.S. and Europe which will be published in the form of booklets and a book, Mottaki, who was speaking on the sidelines of a meeting with Irans Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahroudi, said.
He described the murder of Morad Amoun, an Iranian prisoner in France, as a blatant violation of human rights by Paris.
Separately, the Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that it had sent a memorandum to Austria, the current EU president, demanding the 25-nation block take effective measures to prevent human rights abuses in European countries and the U.S.
The memorandum was in particular highly critical of France for the numerous street riots in October 2005 and March 2006 and subsequent police action.
It accused Britain and France of spreading Islamophobia in schools.
