NCR condemns return of Australian ambassador to Tehran

The National Council of Resistance of Iran condemns the return of the Australian ambassador to Tehran and believes that this act sacrifices human rights on the altar of petty economic interests. This sell-out of human rights is so obvious that the Australian deputy Prime Minister does not even attempt to conceal it and emphasizes the continuation of economic ties with the religious, terrorist dictatorship ruling Iran.

This action by the government of Australia takes place only a week after the verdict of the Berlin court which identified Khamenei, Rafsanjani and other officials of the regime for direct involvement in the assassination of opponents, and while only two days ago the U.N. Human Rights Commission strongly condemned Iran's medieval regime for its violation of human rights and export of terrorism. This is a brazen insult to all recognized international standards and an obvious green light to the mullahs ruling Iran for continuing their torture and execution inside Iran and export of terrorism abroad.
