In a statement on Saturday, Mousavi denounced the US Customs and Border Protection’s recent illegal and inhumane treatment of Iranian nationals and citizens.
“Such absolutely discriminatory measures that are taken only because of the race, nationality or maybe the faith of people are totally rejected in terms of international human rights laws and principles, and would result in accountability for the US government,” he added.
“Since those (Iranian) individuals have been questioned by the US border guards and security forces about their political and ideological beliefs and their accounts in the virtual space have also been investigated coercively, such a measure amounts to an example of inquisition and a blatant violation of human rights,” the spokesman deplored.
