Iran urges UK police to end violence

The Iranian Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy subcommittee has urged the UK to immediately stop the violent treatment of people protesting the killing of a black man, Press TV reports.

The Human Rights Subcommittee condemned the killing of Mark Duggan by the Metropolitan police in London.

Mohammad Karim Abedi, the vice-chairman of the sub-committee, said that the Majlis, as the representative of the Iranian nation, supports the rights of the British people and urged London to order the police to stop treating protesters violently.

A spokesman for the subcommittee, Hossein Naqavi, also condemned what he called the UK's “double standards” towards human rights.
