Iran VP slams US travel ban as ‘illegal, inhumane and against human rights’
Iran’s senior vice president is calling President Trump’s executive order on travel and visa process ban “illegal, inhumane and against human rights.”
The official IRNA news agency Monday quotes Ishaq Jahangiri as saying the order should be reviewed at the international level.
Jahangiri says: “We will definitely take stance against this illegal, inhumane and anti-human-rights activity in international bodies. And once again (we) will review and explore American human rights in international bodies in order to let the world to know what a system they are facing.”
He did not elaborate.
The executive order suspended issuing visas for people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria or Yemen for at least 90 days.
