France’s Macron slams ‘state violence’ against Iranian protesters

French President Emmanuel Macron denounces “state violence” targeting Iranian protesters as rights groups say hundreds have been killed in a crackdown by authorities on a wave of demonstrations.

“I condemn the state violence that indiscriminately targets Iranian women and men who courageously demand respect for their rights,” Macron writes on X.

“Respect for fundamental freedoms is a universal requirement, and we stand alongside those who defend them,” he adds.
