Silence, inaction of self-proclaimed human rights advocates towards death penalty for innocent people condemned

AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Emphasising the need to pay proper attention to issues related to the young people and get their efforts out of the shadow of the sports sector in the relevant ministry, the President said, "The government's preference is to create an agile and efficient mechanism like the "National Organisation of Young People's Affairs" without creating a new structure".

Speaking on Monday in the meeting of the Supreme Council of Young People's Affairs, the President congratulated the birthday of H.H. Ali Akbar (AS) and the day of the young, and said, "Naming of this occasion as the day of the young has been a very appropriate choice".

The President thanked the organisers of the meeting and added, "The Ministry of Sports and Youth Affairs also has very important missions regarding young people, which unfortunately, issues related to sports have largely overshadowed this sector".

Noting that the issues of the young people cover a wide range of areas from employment, housing, marriage, education, skills training and exercise for physical health, Dr Raisi said, "Identifying and actualising the talents of the young people must be properly organised".

The President stated, "An agile and efficient structure should be created, in terms of the missions defined to meet the needs and demands of the young, so that it pursues the issues related to them in a real way and not just in words".

Ayatollah Raisi pointed out, "The government's preference is for this mechanism to be completed as soon as possible, without creating a new structure that requires a legislative process, by drafting the necessary bylaws and instructions in the government".

The President also welcomed the proposal to establish a young people's advisory council at various levels of institutions and agencies, saying, "The establishment of a governing club for young revolutionary faithful managers could be a vehicle for motivated and creative young people to help managers intellectually".

Dr Raisi stated that we have always benefited from consulting with young people, and their courage and bravery have also provided us with creative and open-minded ideas.

Regarding the execution of innocents, the President also noted that the application of double standards by Western countries and the instrumental use of the concept of human rights, as well as the silence and inaction of self-proclaimed human rights advocates towards death penalty for innocent people are condemned".

Ayatollah Raisi added, "International organisations and free media and relevant institutions must break their silence".
