Iran Press/ Iran news: June 27 to July 3 is designated American Human Rights Review and Disclosure Week in Iran.
At the third meeting of the 'American Human Rights Review and Disclosure Week and Commemoration of June 28 1981 Martyrs' campaign, which was held on Monday, Vahid Jalalzadeh referred to the US 'War on Terror' law and said the US law harmed nearly 85 million people around the world and millions were displaced in Afghanistan.
Referring to human rights violations by the US, he said the US population makes up 5% of the world's population, but 25 percent of the world's prisoners are in US prisons. Violence and oppression against Latinos, women, blacks, etc., are perpetrated daily in the US, but the United States presents itself as the protector and founder of human rights.
Jalalzadeh said a report by UN Special Rapporteur Alena Dohan on the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures on the enjoyment of human rights confirms that untimely delivery of medicine to Iranian patients and the loss of loved ones are among human rights violations by US sanctions on Iran.

Noting that the modern American government is introduced through cinema, he said: "At least we should be able to introduce the true face of America to our people in the American Human Rights Week."
Emphasizing exposing the crimes of the Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), an organization supported by the United States against the Iranians, Jalalzadeh pointed out that the MKO terror outfit, which has killed 17,000 Iranians and carried out the July 28 explosion, now has offices and activities in the best places in Europe.
