MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Iran's High Council for Human Rights on Friday criticized Western countries and international human rights organizations for ignoring obvious evidence of rights violation in the country, citing the lack of reaction to the terrorist attack at the Shah Cheragh mausoleum in the city of Shiraz as an example.
The terrorist attack on the mausoleum is an obvious violation of international law, the statement said, adding that all those involved must be brought to justice.
The council noted that international human rights organizations and those Western states that claim to support the principle of human rights have demonstrated complete disregard and lack of reaction to terrorist acts when it comes to Iran.
On Wednesday, Iranian media said three unidentified persons opened fire in the grounds of the Shah Cheragh mausoleum in south Iran.
