Iran Orders Human Rights Investigation against US

Navideshahed: "We must open a special case for America's crimes in which there is an indictment for the crimes it has carried out in this country and other Islamic states," Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani was quoted as saying to IRNA News Agency.

Larijani appointed the chief prosecutor, Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei, himself \ to conduct investigation on US and European sanctions on Iran.

Larijani said Washington was using human rights and the "war on terrorism" as "hackneyed excuses ... to achieve power and wealth in the world and cover up its own internal problems."

Larijani said the abuses to be investigated included U.S. help for the shah's regime in torturing its opponents, U.S. backing for militant groups that have attacked civilians in Iran and U.S. support for "crimes in countries like Egypt."

"While there are very clear charges against America about violations of human rights and terrorism which has the blood of Muslims and non-Muslims on its hands, it has raised faked claims against Iran," Larijani said.
