TEHRAN (ISNA)- Iran categorically blasted the United Nations special rapporteur on Iran, saying that the report is not presenting realities.

�His remarks and parts of the report have been presented unilaterally without considering the realities. It also does not follow rules of the UN Human Rights Council agents,� said Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham.

She also said Iran is skeptical about the �unfair and subjective� performance of the UN special rapporteur in terms of not following international rules and regulations.

She further noted, �The Islamic Republic of Iran is fully aware of its national and international obligations on human rights, and has made good and expansive cooperation with international mechanisms on this field.�

Afkham continued that Iran has improved rights of citizenship, minorities and woman, and would keep on its efforts.
