Iran Takes France to Task over Treatment of Muslims
(Iran Focus) Iran Focus - State-run Iranian dailies on Tuesday accused the French government of oppressing its people, as Paris and other cities went through another night of fiery protests. The semi-official daily Jomhouri Islami said the French government had given the orders for the French army to "suppress" protestors. On Sunday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi blamed the French police for "resorting to violence." "The French police and government must treat the minorities in that country, including the Muslims, in a proper manner," Asefi told a press conference in Tehran. "We hope the French government would respect the rights of the people there and pay attention to their demands in a peaceful way, so that we would not continue to witness the violation of citizens' rights in that country."
