Gharibabadi wrote through a Twitter post in reaction to the EU's so-called human rights sanctions against some Iranian individuals and bodies.
“The same European Union which has violated the rights of millions of Iranian civilians due to implementation of US-orchestrated unilateral and cruel sanctions, and sheltered and provided unwavering support to the terrorists who have murdered 17,000 innocent Iranians has now once again put up a pathetic charade by claiming to be defending human rights while simultaneously imposing sanctions on those safeguarding the security and safety of Iranian people against western-backed riots.”
Reportedly, the Council of the European Union imposed sanctions on some Iranian individuals and bodies including police on Monday (October 17).
In a related development, the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry Nasser Kanaani said at his weekly press briefing on the same day that Tehran will soon give proportionate response to the EU measures.
