Iran spreads chaos to distract attention from its abhorrent human rights

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has emphasised that there are no indications that the Iranian regime intends to address the injustice and oppression being suffered by the Arabs of Al Ahwaz, including the confiscation of their Arab identity and violation of their civil rights.

Iran seeks to distract the world's attention from its dire human rights situation by creating chaos and undermining security and stability in the region and spreading hate speech and sectarianism, Dr. Khaled Manzlawi , Acting Permanent Representative of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at the UN, said in the Kingdom's statement before the world organisation on the situation of human rights in Iran.

"Iran's black record in the field of human rights and its lack of respect for international conventions and disavowal of its international obligations are clear to all. There are no positive signs suggesting that the oppression of the Arab of Al-Ahwaz and Iran's confiscation of their Arab identity and civil rights will be resolved, not to mention the ethnic and religious discrimination practiced by the Iranian regime against non-Persian peoples," Dr. Manzlawi said in the statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency, SPA.

He added that Iran is the financial and logistical supporter for all the terrorist operations carried out by the Houthi militias in Yemen, using Yemen's ports to smuggle ballistic missiles, weapons, ammunitions and explosives to terrorist militias, therefore exacerbating the suffering of Yemeni people.
