AhlulBayt News Agency: Iran’s Government Spokesman Ali Bahadori Jahromi has reacted to a UN resolution that terminated Iran’s membership in the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), blaming the move on the US which he said accounted for a third of the world’s female prisoners.
The Iranian official made the reaction on his twitter page, giving figures describing the situation of women in the United States.
“1.One third of women prisoners worldwide are incarcerated in the US.”
“2.At least 250 women have been killed by US police, on the streets and without trial, since 2015. Leonna Hale, a 26-year-old pregnant woman, is one of them.”
“3.The US pushed for Iran’s termination in the Commission on the Status of Women.”
Bahadori Jahromi used #multistandard at the end of his tweet.
On Wednesday, the UN adopted the US-pushed resolution ending Iran’s CSW membership with 29 votes in favor and 16 abstentions. Eight countries voted against the resolution.
