Esmail Beqaei, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, wrote on his personal account on one of the social networking websites, publishing a clip published by Al Jazeera TV in which a Dutch police officer violently throws a Palestinian man’s pregnant wife to the ground and drags her along, “This behavior is extremely barbaric and unjustifiable. There is no excuse for the police to violently attack a pregnant woman, just because she wanted to stay with her arrested Palestinian husband.”
The Iranian spokesman added: “The Dutch authorities must pursue this blatant violation of human rights and hold the perpetrators to account. Such violence is a sign of dogmatism and systematic discrimination in the country’s police structure.”
