"Human rights groups in Europe, the US and the UN lost all their credits due to their silence towards the murders of Shias in Pakistan and Bahrain" said one of the most important religious figure in Iran, Grand Ayatollah Vahid Khorasani.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - To protest the murders of innocent Shias in Pakistan, the Grand Iranian Shia cleric, Ayatollah Vahid Khorasani cancelled all his classes next Saturday. He said that the human rights groups in Europe, the US and the UN lost all their credits due to their silence towards the murders of Shias in Pakistan and Bahrain. In his Wednesday morning class, the Grand Ayatollah pointed to the killings of men, women and children in Pakistan and Bahrain declaring the cancellations as a small step for all those innocent people who are murdered purely because of their love for the Ahlul Bait of the Prophet (PBUH).The Grand Ayatollah Vahid referred to some articles of the human rights Charter specifying that, based on these articles, all humans have the same individual rights and respect whether they are the President of the US or a lady from the remotest villages of Pakistan. He asked if really the respect for the US President or the Queen of the UK is equal to the oppressed people under ruthless and puppet rulers. Is it right that the entire wealth of a nation should be at the disposal of one family and some people be in prisons without trials and rights at the same country?The Grand Ayatollah pointing to the claim that the UN’s Charter is the first of its kind said Imam Ali (AS) who had the wealth of the entire Islamic world at his disposal, at the time of breaking his fast, ate bread and salt. Imam Ali (AS) gave exactly the same amount of money from the treasury to his son and a person in Habasheh (current Ethiopia). Is this the human rights or the one that is claimed nowadays? Once Imam Ali (as) bought a more expensive shirt for his servant and the servant tried to give the shirt back to Imam but Imam told him you are young, I am much older, so you have the priority.The Grand Ayatollah Khorasani asked the international organisations that are silent about the murders of women and children, a question. Are you the founder of the rights of the human beings or the one (meaning Imam Ali who was at the time ruling the Islamic World) who when saw an old Christian man begging said; in his young age he was made to work and now that he is old he is abandoned? The old man then became entitled to a pension./129
