Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman has condemned the European Parliament's resolution on human rights breaches in Iran, calling it “meddlesome” and "anti-Iranian".

Nasser Kanaani, in a statement released on Friday, said the resolution approved by the European Parliament reveals “the confusion of some European parties regarding the reality of the Islamic Republic.”

European Parliamentarians adopted a resolution condemning the deterioration of human rights in Iran on Thursday.

As part of the resolution, European Parliament members called on the Iranian authorities to end immediately all discrimination against women and girls, including mandatory veiling, and to retract all laws discriminating against women and girls

The European Parliament members (MEPs) also urged the regime to release “victims of arbitrary detention and human rights defenders” such as Narges Mohammadi, Sepideh Gholian, Golrokh Iraee, Nasrin Javadi and Bahareh Hedayat.

Moreover, their demands included the immediate release of Iranians with dual citizenship and non-Iranians, such as Johan Floderus, Ahmadreza Djalali, Nahid Taghavi, Jamshid Sharmahd, and Massoud Mossaheb.

Finally, the resolution echoed the calls to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization and to sanction the President, the Supreme Leader and the Prosecutor-General for their human rights violations.
