Iranian cleric says executions may inflame regional tensions
DUBAI: A leading Iranian cleric said the execution of Islamists last week could inflame sectarian tensions in the Gulf region, while Tehran said it was merely taking a tough stance on foreign-backed terrorism.
Iran executed up to 20 Kurds accused of attacks on security forces. There were ** public trials and rights groups said the convictions may have been based on forced confessions. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein said on Friday that "overly broad and vague criminal charges" had led to "a grave injustice". Iran’s Foreign Ministry expressed surprise at the remarks. "The Islamic Republic of Iran has always taken forceful policy measures to counter regional terrorist groups supported by foreign countries," ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA. Molavi Abdolhamid, a leading cleric in Iran said the executions lacked "forethought and tolerance" at a time when Iran and the whole region were suffering from extremism. "Our main complaint is that the sensitive situation in our region has **t been considered in these executions," Abdolhamid, who is regarded as a spiritual leader for Iran’s Sunni mi**rity, said on his website. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Iranian cleric says executions may inflame regional tensions || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
