TEHRAN (Iran News) – On last Thursday, the government of Canada joined the wagon of the Western countries who took a hostile position against the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the recent riots in the country and announced sanctions against some Iranian individuals and organizations..

The government of Canada imposed sanctions on a wide range of Iranian institutions and persons over alleged “rights violations” following the recent foreign-backed riots in the country.

Reacting to this biased decision by a country which itself is a main violator of human rights, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman sharply criticized Western governments for using human rights as a “tool” to exert pressure on other countries, following baseless accusations leveled by the West over the recent foreign-backed riots in Iran.

“When human rights become a plaything and a tool to exert political pressure on others, the media empire of the hegemonic system also helps those accused of systematic human rights violations to stand in the position of plaintiffs,” Nasser Kanaani said.

He said the world still has not forgotten the tragic accounts of the forced separation of more than 150,000 Indigenous children from their families and the discovery of mass graves containing the remains of hundreds of these children on the grounds of former residential schools in Canada about a year ago.

“Blurting out words about other countries and hiding behind accusations against others will not change the fact that behind the window of human rights in one of the American government’s closest allies, child killing and disregard for humanity is showing,” he added.

Everybody is well aware about the hostile attitude of Ottawa against Tehran as this Western country has cut its diplomatic relation with Iran and has continued its hostile acts against Tehran.

Ottawa tries to paint a nice picture of it as a human rights defender but this country has turned into a place for economic corrupts and persons who are active against their governments.

Since the IRGC is the arm of the Islamic Revolution and a thorn in the eyes of the West, it comes under fire from the Western countries and every time something happens in Iran or in the region, the Western countries blames the IRGC and resort to sanctions against protector of the country and its members or designating it as terrorist body while the Western armies are themselves the real examples of terrorists in disguise.

Ottawa has not forgotten that it has not yet returned one of Iran’s famous economic corrupt, Mohammad Reza Khavari, who has taken shelter in this country. It seems Canada acts like father and like son and it follows its father the U.S. in imposing sanctions against Iran in order not to fall behind from its father.

Earlier the US Treasury Department imposed sanctions on seven Iranian officials over what it claimed to be the shutdown of internet access and the crackdown on protesters and Canada immediately followed the US.

Of course we are well aware that the bans are the “backbone” of the so-called American human rights regulations. The US and Canada, despite pretending support of human rights, are themselves violators of human rights and the world has realized it and now most countries do not give a damn to the claims of these two countries  in supporting human rights.

Every day, a new list of sanctions against Iran is published under some pretext and now Iranians have become immune against these useless sanctions because Iranian officials have no money in Western banks and they are not even eager to visit these two countries and they just travel to those states when there is an international meeting.

The whole Iranian people, without any distinction and discrimination, have been struggling for many years with the brutal sanctions of the United States, which have targeted their livelihood, jobs, health and normal life but no Western country like Canada has tried to at least pretend support of human rights and to condemn the U.S. sanctions which hurt the people but they have even jumped to defend the US sanctions and they have followed Washington.

Canada is better to mind its own business and observe human rights issues in its own country rather than meddle in other countries’ domestic affairs because it itself needs more than other countries observance of human rights issues.

Almost more than one year after discovery of mass graves containing the remains of hundreds of the children on the grounds of former residential schools in Canada, the Ottawa government has not taken any action and has tried to silence the society and closing the case by resorting to other issues and distracting the public opinion.

So the Islamic Republic of Iran gives no damn to any sanctions and threat from countries like Canada which are themselves violators of international laws and human rights and the country has found its path and will resist and fight against such inhuman sanctions and threats, and the government of Canada is better to resort other pretexts for condemning Tehran rather than human rights.
