Iranian FM Spokesman Criticizes West and Israel
Tehran, July 26 (KCNA) -- An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman on July 21 accused the West of seeking to use human rights issue as a political leverage.

The West insists on the dispatch of a special rapporteur to Iran, while taking issue with its human rights issue. This is aimed to put political pressure upon Iran, the spokesman said.

He emphasized that the Iranian government would never accept the rapporteur.

The spokesman branded as an inhuman act the Israeli naval forces' interception of a foreign ship which was sailing to the Gaza Strip with humanitarian aid materials on board.
