(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast was verbally abused, pushed and shoved by protesters, while New York police were indifferent and arrested no one in the incident.
Unfortunately, Mehmanparast said, despite repeated requests for police’s help “we were witnessing a kind of indifference by American police.”
The MKO is on the U.S. terrorism list. However, U.S. officials announced on September 21 that the Obama administration has decided to remove the group from its list of terrorist organizations.
Mehmanparast said the United States as the host country is “responsible to protect the lives of diplomats.”
He added, “I think the American and European people are very worried that their officials have put support for such groups (MKO) on their agenda.”
Mehmanparast said the worse the enemy “treats our people the stronger our steps get.”
