Iranian Lawmaker Urges London to Respect British Nation's Rights
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian legislator called on David Cameron's government to stop using violent methods against the country's protestors, and said London should respect the rights of the British people.
"We advise the monarchical regime of Britain to respect the rights of its people by avoiding savage behaviors," Rapporteur of the parliament's Human Rights Commission Seyed Hossein Naqavi told FNA on Tuesday.
Naqavi referred to the killing of Mark Dougan, a black British citizen, by the security forces in the country, and said that today the British people have come to the streets to protest at the security forces' deliberate gunfire at Dougan.
"The British regime should prepare itself for harder days," he added.
The rioting that convulsed poorer sections of London over the weekend spread Monday and early Tuesday to at least eight new districts in the metropolitan area and broke out for the first time in Britain's second-largest city, Birmingham, in what was developing into the worst outbreak of social unrest in Britain in 25 years.
Unrest was also reported by the police in several other cities, including Liverpool, Nottingham and Bristol, as well as in three towns in the county of Kent, Southeast of the capital. An enormous fire consumed a large warehouse in the Enfield section of London after a similar blaze ripped through a furniture store in Croydon.
Prime Minister David Cameron, apparently caught off guard while on vacation with his family in Tuscany, reversed an earlier decision not to cut short his holiday in the face of plunging world financial markets and boarded a plane for home to lead a meeting on Tuesday of the so-called Cobra committee of senior officials that deals with major security issues.
