Iranian journalist Jalal Fayazi in a report entitled as "Transit Illegal drugs to Europe," Fayazi said that while the west continue accusing Iran of breaching human rights for executing drug traffickers, the Islamic Republic has to think other wise.
The journalist suggested that the Iranian government should allow the transit of illegal drugs throughout its territory to Europe.
Last week, Iran executed ten drug traffickers in the capital Tehran for trafficking hundreds of kilos of illegal drugs, considered by officials as being enough to destroy a nation, Fayazi said. He noted
that the move was taken by Iran to reduce the number of drug addicts in the country, and to warn other traffickers of similar punishments.
Fayazi then condemned UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran Ahmad Shaheed for his biased report on the condition of human rights in Iran, and considering it as "shocking," asking for an end to the execution in the Islamic Republic.
Fayazi also cited European Union foreign policy chief Cathrine Ashton for saying she was "shocked" by such execution. Meanwhile, he suggested that Iran can provide a protected corridor in a bid to transfer illegal drug transits from the country's eastern border to western. The move would result in less fighting against drug transits headed to Europe, and reduce the number of soldiers who are frequently killed in such fighting. Therefore, Iran would not arrest and punish traffickers and would not be accused of breaching human rights.
Rather than being shocked by the execution of the traffickers in Iran, Ashton would be shocked by the increased number of drug addicts in Europe, Fayazi concluded.
