Systematic racism deeply rooted in UK history: Iran HR official

Tehran, IRNA – Secretary of Iran's High Council for Human Rights Kazem Gharibabadi slammed the UK's scheme to electronically tag asylum seekers, saying that systematic racism had a deep root in the country’s history.

“The UK’s systematic racism and vie for dehumanisation is deeply-rooted in its history, in which you see a total disregard for and horrendous violations of human rights!” wrote in a tweet on Wednesday.

The tweet follows reports that the UK government had a scheme to electronically tag asylum seekers on arrival in the country.

The Guardian reported on Sunday that the Home Office was accused of “victim blaming” after launching a scheme to electronically tag asylum seekers arriving in the UK.

Ministers faced calls to abandon the “farce of a policy” after suggestions that those who recently avoided being sent to Rwanda after a legal challenge could be among the first to be tagged under the program, according to the Guardian.
