Vienna, June 15, IRNA – At 14th Session of UN Human Rights Council, Iran asked for immediate lifting of inhumane lingering Gaza siege and possibility of forwarding philanthropist contributions to oppressed Palestinians.

According to IRNA correspondent in Vienna, Iran’s demand was put forth at a session in which the human rights conditions at the occupied territories of the Palestinians was being discussed under Article 7 of the said council.
At the session the Permanent Charge d’Affaires of the Islamic Republic of Iran at the UN Asadollah Eshraq-Jahromi in his address referred to the deteriorating conditions within the occupied Palestinian territories that have always been one of the major and urgent concerns of the international community.
He emphatically added, “Unfortunately during the course of the past six decades the world nations have constantly been witnesses to the breaching of the international and human rights of the innocent Palestinian nation by the occupier regime of the Holy Qods.”
He added, “In that while the illegal continuation of the township building, destroying of residential homes, arresting and imprisonment of the innocent people, vast and systematic resorting to torture and imprisonment of the innocent people, and other cruel behaviors, the inhumane lingering siege of Gaza Strip and the invasions of military forces into that region, destruction of holy sites and continuation of the separation wall as an obvious sign or racism, and the recent brutal attack against the International Peace Flotilla carrying humanitarian aides in the international waters have been, but a small portion of the criminal acts committed by the Zionist regime.”
He said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran once again seriously condemns the criminal acts of the Zionist regime, particularly its attack against the aids caravan for the people of Gaza that cost dozens of precious lives of civilian people and wounding a lot more, which have entirely been broad violations of international laws.”
He asked for putting to trial the people who have committed such crimes at an international court of justice without any delay.
Iran’s ambassador also asked for the establishment of an international truth seeker group to identify the people that have ordered the occurrence of such crimes among the officials of the occupier regime of the Holy Qods.
Eshraq-Jahromi referred to the endless pains of the Palestinian people, particularly the Gaza residents, asking for an immediate end to the inhumane siege of Gaza and the other occupied lands and permitting the free flow of the humanitarian aides’ ships into Gaza free from any Israeli nuisance.
At regular sessions of the UN Human Rights Council the violations of human rights at occupied territories are surveyed under Article 7 in the framework of reactions to the report of the Special UN Reporters at two separate sessions of that council.
