Iran Press/Iran News: Ali Baqeri-Kani said on Saturday night that according to the statistics some 3 American citizens are killed by the police on a daily basis.
Referring to the fact that 60 percent of those who have lost their lives due to COVID-19 in Chicago have been black people, the official noted that the most important reason behind the black people's death toll in the US is the racist structure which has been institutionalized in all ruling bodies of the country.
Iran's senior human rights official went on to say that now it has been revealed to the world that the US threat is not just limited and it is not the mere result of US officials' adventurism but rather it is the institutionalized intellectual foundation within US ruling system.
He also highlighted that the spread of such an intellectual foundation should be stopped.
