Iran: Protests in Tehran
The French Ambassador to Tehran, Pierre Cochard, was summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry in connection with the harsh actions of the French authorities against protesting students and school staff, deeming them a violation of human rights. The acting head of the human rights department of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Hamid Ahmadi, during the meeting, recalled France's international obligations in the field of human rights and called for the observance of fundamental rights and freedoms, in particular the right of citizens to peaceful assembly. Ahmadi expressed serious concern about the actions of the French security forces against peaceful protesters, which, according to him, led to serious injuries. He also announced the detention of more than 5,000 people. According to him, the use of such a level of force against participants in peaceful assemblies cannot be justified.
