Endorsement of Wahhabism, Islam phobia in the West, racism in American society, hijab ban in France, discrimination against blacks in America, laws against Holocaust denial and denying refugees are examples of misusing the international human rights mechanisms.
Islamic Human Rights ceremony has been held today in Tehran where Iranian Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani opened the ceremony with a speech.
The event is attended by Iranian officials as well as the ambassadors of Islamic countries to Tehran. The International Islamic Human Rights Award 2016 was jointly granted to Bahrain’s popular Shia cleric Sheikh Isa Qassim and the co-founder of the London-based Islamic Human Rights Commission (IHRC) Arzu Merali.
It is worth mention that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation declared 5 August 2008 as ‘Islamic human rights day’.
