Iran denounces police violence in France and urges Paris to guarantee 'freedom of protest'
Following a day of protests marked by violence on October 17 in France, Iranian authorities condemned what they described as 'double standards' and, without irony, called on Paris to listen to the demonstrators.
Official Tehran is calling on France to listen to the protesters and their demands for change, while also criticizing the behavior of the French police, accusing them of using disproportionate force during recent demonstrations that were overshadowed by violence in the streets.
Elva Hrönn Hjartardóttir, fundraising director at Amnesty International, has just returned from Paris. She says news of the city in flames gives a false picture of the situation and also points out that the police have used a lot of violence against protesters, often children.
