so because that guy used a chair to smash a window it means all u.k. citizens human rights were void?

I'm not sure where you're going but I think you need a reality check. I'm sorry to say it but nothing will be done by the UN, Not even a chance. So than what good is Iran really doing? Standing up for the students? That's the biggest joke I've ever heard. Unfortunately there is nothing funny about any of this. What makes this even worse from my perspective is that a country that does not allow free speech or any political opposition is perceived as the preacher of human rights. Even sadder than that is the fact that many are buying this crap.

Well I would shut my mouth if you say the same about US, because US is the world's violent abuser of human rights, and at the same time the forefront of human rights accusations.

Deal!!! I don't believe the US has any credibility to speak on human rights violations. How's that? Will you shut up now?
I think the point is that none of these political games are going to bring about any change so don't fall for the tricks and don't be a tool for such evil regimes to spread their propaganda.

Comparing Irainian HR's to the UK's is nothing but a joke.
I can do without the Iranians standing up for my Human Rights, they stone women don't they.
When did Stoning become a human rights issue?
Universal declaration of human rights, article 5:
No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

And what execution rate does the US have then?
