TEHRAN – The Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution (SCCR) issued a statement on Monday saying the murder of Marwa al-Sherbini in Germany demonstrated the West’s disrespect to human rights.

Al-Sherbini, a 32-year-old Muslim woman, who was about four months pregnant and wore the hijab, had pressed charges against her neighbor for calling her a terrorist and was set to testify against him when he stabbed her 18 times inside a courtroom in front of her 3-year-old son in Dresden.
In the 21st century when all governments, particularly the western countries, claim to be human rights supporters, such a crime in a court showed that western states, including Germany, are not determined to defend human rights, and also proved that their claims of human rights violations in to other nations cannot be proven, the statement read.
How the western world can speak of human rights and democracy in the light of such crimes and similar ones in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib prisons and so forth?, it asked
