2011-05-22
[Iran Press TV] Amid global concerns over rights abuse in the US, Iran's Parliament (Majlis) is set to discuss imposing sanctions on American officials responsible for human rights
...which often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
violations.

In its Sunday meeting, the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of Iran's Parliament (Majlis) will discuss imposing sanctions on American officials who have committed human rights violations, IRNA reported.

Earlier, Head of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of Iran's Parliament (Majlis) Alaeddin Boroujerdi said that the Islamic Theocratic Republic is preparing to file a lawsuit against those American officials responsible for committing human rights violations.

This comes as Iran also plans to launch an English-language news agency to report on human rights conditions in the West.

Iranian politician Mohammad Karim Abedi earlier announced that the Human Rights News Agency would seek to assert human rights in the US and Perfidious Albion.

In May, Amnesia Amnesty International (AI) slammed the United States for its indefinite detentions in Afghanistan and at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, as well as its flawed capital punishment system.

In October 2010, the United Nations

Human Rights Council (UNHRC) also released a report expressing serious concerns about human rights abuse in the US.

The report by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) pointed to rights violations and concerns regarding torture, police brutality, and wide-ranging discriminations that the US government has neglected to properly address.

Systematic violations of human rights by the US government were detailed in the report, which indicated that most violations affected African-Americans, minorities, especially Mohammedans, and immigrant communities in the US as well as abroad.

The use of torture against prisoners and detainees by military personnel in Guantanamo Bay prison, as well as detention centers in Iraq and Afghanistan, was also condemned in the report.
