Iran Not to Tolerate Foreign Intervention in Internal Affairs

Iran will not tolerate any foreign interventions in its internal affairs, country's Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani said Monday slamming foreign remarks on the recent executions of terrorists.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Last week, Tehran announced the execution of 20 people considered members of alleged terror group Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad. The identities of those executed have so far been withheld by the authorities, making it impossible to independently verify their allegiance to any terror group.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran will show no tolerance in dealing with terrorism and will not sacrifice its major divine, ethical and legal values for some wrong and unfounded remarks and reactions by so-called advocates of human rights," Larijani said in a meeting of Judiciary officials as quoted by the Tasnim news agency.

Human Rights Watch described the execution as a "shameful low point" in its history of human rights violations.
