Iran Press/Iran news: Iran’s Judiciary High Council for Human Rights in a statement released on Saturday, said: “UN Special Rapporteur, Javaid Rehman’s baseless allegations against Iran through many interview with western anti-Iranian media propaganda outlets are ‘blatant violation’ of the UN framework.”
Tehran insists that the appointment of UN special rapporteur on Iran’s human rights situation is politically motivated.
“Undoubtedly, his propaganda activities, which are accompanied by the misuse of a UN official title, and his baseless allegations against Iran, seriously cast doubt on his competence as a rapporteur,” the statement read.

In his latest report submitted to the UN Human Rights Council on February 27, Rehman raised baseless allegations over purported human rights violations in Iran.
On March 2018 in Geneva, the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) unlike Iran's demand extended Javaid Rehman’s mandate for another year.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Ghassemi, said earlier that Iran believes that the extension of the mandate of the special rapporteur for another year is “unjustifiable and unnecessary”
