Representative of Islamic Republic of Iran in United Nations condemned assassination of martyr Shireen Abu Akle, the Palestinian reporter of Al-Jazeera TV, and asked the UN and particularly the UN Security Council here on Friday to act urgently to end Israel’s criminal acts.
Mohammad Reza Sahraei said that nowadays "we are witnesses to the occurrence of new crimes by Israel against the Palestinian nation, such as assassinating Ms. Shireen Abu Akle, the senior Palestinian journalist in Jenin Palestinian Refugee Camp, quite brutally".
The Iranian diplomat said that Shireen Abu Akle was the brave sound of the Palestinian nation and the symbol of their resistance and steadfastness against the unjust usurper nature of the occupiers that has lasted for too long.
He said that the terrorist act of assassinating Abu Akle by Israel was part of a long war and intimidation and brutality against journalists, and its intention is concealing the criminal acts of that usurper regime against the Palestinians, which is broad violation of the international laws and norms.
