An Iranian Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy subcommittee has urged the UK to immediately stop violent treatment of people protesting the killing of a black man.

The Human Rights Subcommittee condemned the killing of Mark Duggan by British police in London, Fars news agency reported Tuesday.

Mohammad Karim Abedi, the vice-chairman of the sub-committee, said that the Majlis, as the representative of the Iranian nation, supports the rights of the British people and urged London to order the police to stop treating protesters violently.

The spokesman of the subcommittee Hossein Naqavi also condemned what he called the UK's “double standards” towards human rights.

He recommended London to stop the use of violence against protesters and respect people's rights.

Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast also called on the British police to exercise restraint against protesters.

Mehmanparast asked the British government to start dialogue with the protesters and to listen to their demands in order to calm the situation down.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's foreign ministry spokesman, Ramin Mehmanparast, called on the police in the UK "to exercise restraint and behave in a controlled way". He then advised "the British government to start dialogue with the protesters and to listen to their demands." Finally, he suggested that an independent human rights organisation be allowed to investigate the killing of Mark Duggan "to protect the civil rights and civil liberties".

From what I’ve seen so far, Iran has nothing to worry about. The British police will try handing out candy to protesters next, or maybe free droids.

Tell the Iranian sons of pig F’n dogs that they will be treated with the same level of restraint which Iran applies its dissidents, protesters and rioters.
