JEDDAH, 05 November 2022, (TON): Foreign ministers from the G7 group of nations denounced the Tehran regime’s deadly crackdown on the wave of protests sweeping Iran.
The ministers said after talks in Germany “we condemn the brutal and disproportionate use of force against peaceful protesters.”
They said “we advocate the right of all Iranians to access information, and we deplore the Iranian government’s erosion of civil space, and independent journalism, its targeting of human rights defenders, including by shutting down the internet and social media.”
The G7 also criticized Tehran’s destabilizing activities in and around the Middle East, such as the supply of weapons, including drones, to state and non-state actors.
Ministers said “such proliferation is destabilizing for the region and escalates already high tensions.”
