More Orwellian commentary from Mark Pirooz (aka Sargord P)

by AMIR1973 on


Mark Pirooz says: "Interesting how the emphasis on human rights from these countries focuses on the universal right to food, housing and medical care, as well as associated cultural issues." Of course, the living standards of many poor people in the U.S. is higher than poor or even many middle class people in those countries (and no, I'm not defending income inequalities in the U.S. or lack of access to proper housing or medical care in the U.S.)

He also says: "Whereas the West generally emphasizes more self-indulgent concerns related to Western liberalism, within an agenda promoting its own geopolitical and corporate interests." None of which has spurred our own Sargord P to leave Ohio for Tehran, Caracas, Havana, or Dushanbe.

What entitles the sect of Shia to sectarian activity that others are denied of?

And the right to food, housing and health care is not a western liberalism concetp, H. Ali (A) says" cheraghi ke be khane ravaast be masjed haraam ast". What do you make of that?

Caca de Boeuf...

They are using the same old, worn out tactic of accusing others (the Evil Western Liberal Democracies, for example) of past and present wrongdoings in order to diverse the attention from their own crimes. And they have the nerve to say that they are democratic because they have elections every year. The whole world has seen last June how fair and democratic are their so-called elections.

Caca de Boeuf, indeed.

They are shameless

by cyclicforward on

They really have the nerve to come out in the United Nation and say all these lies without impunity. People are kept in their jails with no due process. Rape and torture and a number of other atrocities.

Thanks to brave Iranian who documented the atrocities of IRI on  youtube and let everyone see first hand as what this regime is about. For thirty years they have been getting aways with their murderous way and now it is time to put them in their place.

Many thanks David ET.

That was fascinating. I watched the comments from Cuba, Venezuela and Tajikistan.

Interesting how the emphasis on human rights from these countries focuses on the universal right to food, housing and medical care, as well as associated cultural issues.

Whereas the West generally emphasizes more self-indulgent concerns related to Western liberalism, within an agenda promoting its own geopolitical and corporate interests.

نشست شورای حقوق بشر

David ET


به گزارش خبرگزاری فرانسه از ژنو، کشورهای غربی امروز در نشست شورای حقوق بشر سازمان ملل متحد، سرکوب خونین مخالفان رژیم تهران در جریان اعتراضات اخیر در ایران را قویا محکوم کردند. 

در شروع این نشست، محمد جواد لاریجانی رئیس هیئت نمایندگی جمهوری اسلامی از رعایت حقوق بشر در ایران سخن گفت که با واکنش شدید کشورهای غربی روبرو شد. 

نمایندگان آمریکا و فرانسه در سخنان خود با رد اظهارات لاریجانی، رفتار خشونت آمیز رژیم تهران علیه معترضان در جریان اعتراضات پس از انتخابات ماده ژوئن در ایران را قاطعانه محکوم کردند. 

نماینده فرانسه گفت، رژیم تهران با اختناق بی سابقه و سرکوب خونبار، مردم ایران را که در پی حقوق جهانشمول خود هستند، در معرض خطر قرار داده است. 

وی گفت، گزارشهای بسیاری در باره بازداشت، حبس و شکنجه معترضان و تجاوز به زندانیان در ماههای اخیر دریافت شده است. دهها نفر در تظاهرات ضد دولتی کشته و هزاران تن دیگر نیز دستگیر و روانه زندان شده اند. 

نماینده فرانسه در شورای حقوق بشر سازمان ملل اعلام کرد که کشورش خواهان تشکیل یک گروه تحقیق بین المللی برای رسیدگی به اقدامات خشونت بار رژیم تهران علیه معترضان است. 

بنا براین گزارش، کشورهای آمریکا، انگلستان و فرانسه امروز رژیم تهران را فراخواندند که اعزام گزارشگران ویژه سازمان ملل به ایران برای رسیدگی به وضعیت حقوق بشر در این کشور را بپذیرد. 

در نشست امروز کشورهای نیکاراگوئه، کوبا و ونزوئلا از رژیم تهران در برابر کشورهای غربی حمایت کردند. 

خبرگزاری فرانسه نوشت، شوراى حقوق بشر سازمان ملل روز دوشنبه نشستی را پيرامون بررسى سركوب تظاهرات ضد دولتی در ايران آغاز کرده است.

Larijani is the Fellow who called Obama a "Nigger" ...

What a Mascarade to have him speak on behalf of Human Rights Values ...

Racist Comment about President Obama

On January 22, 2010, Mr. Larijani was reported by Iranian media to have used the Persian equivalent of the infamous 'N-word' in a meeting he held with journalists at the headquarters of the Islamic Society of Engineers. According to these reports, he said,

"When Obama came to power, he spoke of dialogue and working with Iran, what has happened that today this [N word] is talking of a regime change in Iran?" Larijani then added, "I am not racist, but I have to say something to this man!"[

Thanks for posting this, Mona.

Interesting comparison, the closure of Kahrizak with the non-closure of Guantanimo.
