Iran Press/Iran news: During a meeting on "American Human Rights Reading and Disclosure Week" on Monday, Iran's Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi called on the United States to adhere to human rights and sovereignty.
He said: "The United States has extensively violated human rights in the areas of racial discrimination, terrorism, and sovereignty, and this human rights violation has become deeply-rooted, systematic, and institutionalized."
"Enemies talk about relationships but seek domination; they talk about economic relations, but they seek to plunder resources and they talk about human rights, but their behavior is contrary to this slogan," Alavi added.
In recent days the US is facing extreme criticism by its own people due to the racist behavior of the US police force in murdering of George Floyd.
The demonstrations in the US are the result of anger over the death of an African-American man, George Floyd, who was killed by a white police officer while being arrested.
Floyd's neck and chest were pressed to the ground by policemen for nearly nine minutes, despite the victim's pleas that he could not breathe.
The death of George Floyd, 46, a black man who died on 25 May after he was pinned down by a white Minnesota police officer, has sparked outrage and protests in Minneapolis, across the United States, and around the world and show one of the US old problems; human rights violation, police brutality and racism especially against African Americans.
