This is a video of Massoud Shadjareh, Chair of the Islamic Human Rights Commission.
Video cameraman: Massoud, one question. What about the oppression of the Iranian protesters in Iran? Do you stand against that or are you for that?
Shadjareh: I don’t know what you’re talking about. We are talking about…
Video cameraman: What about the peaceful protesters in Iran who have been oppressed by brutal tactics, torture, rape? Have you got any words to say about that?
Shadjareh: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Any sensible person would expect a “human rights” organisation to criticise the brutal repression of the Iranian people who campaigned against their regime. The scale and magnitude of the Iranian regime’s brutality was condemned at the time by Amnesty International. That the director of the IHRC should claim barefaced ignorance on the matter is beyond belief.
This video is proof that the “Human Rights” aspect of the IHRC is s little more than a fallacy and a sham, and that it is actually a political advocacy front for the Iranian regime operating in London.
It is a shame then that the IHRC is legitimised by far left MPs in the UK, who ask them onto Government Committees to advise them on Islamic extremism.

Is the IHRC wedded to the Cairo Declaration? If so, this scarcely surprising.
The IHRC is more likely wedded to the Tehran Shura.
