TEHRAN – Certain Western countries including Britain are the main supporters of dictatorship in the entire Middle East region, an Iranian human rights official said on Thursday.

The remarks came by Mohammad Javad Larijani, the secretary general of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights, in an interview with the Mehr News Agency.
Larijani also said the way the West treats human rights issues is inappropriate and discriminative as it seeks to impose its double standard policies on other countries.
He added they have legalized a resort to force under the pretext of fight against terrorism.
The mathematician-turned politician said Western countries have committed numerous crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, thus they are not in a position to comment on violation of human rights.
Larijani also called on the United Nations to investigate human rights violations by some Western countries.
Asked why international organizations are indifferent to the violation of human rights by some Western countries, he said some of these organizations are manipulated by the West
