Secretary of Iran’s Human Rights Council Mohammad Javad Larijani lashed out at the European countries for their double-standard policies in campaign against drugs and terrorism, and called for their seriousness in fighting the two ominous phenomena.
“The European countries slogan about war conterrorism is based on double-standards,” Larijani said in a meeting with Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz in Tehran on Monday.

Larijani also blasted the European states for their hues and cries about executions in Iran, and said most of those executions in the country are punishments for major drug traffickers and if the European countries increase their cooperation with Iran in fighting drugs and terrorism the number of executions will certainly decrease.

which has not been heard of before and will, no doubt, never be heard of again. MEK operatives have been active in recruiting attendees. The MEK is facing a critical situation; the forces (hostages) inside Camp Liberty are becoming harder to control, and the camp itself is under pressure from the international community to close. The MEK is at a dead end and its supporters in western countries are becoming more vocal and more critical of what the MEK strategy is and why no progress is being made. In typical MEK style this event in Paris will masquerade as activity and progress, thereby keeping these supporters charged and happy – basically ‘on message’. Some weeks ago the MEK held a similar event gathering 300 ‘supporter associations’ in Paris to listen to a panel of non-Iranian paid speakers.
