France's denounces 'brutal repression' in Iran, rejects accusations of interference - by Angela Charlton
France's top diplomat on Sunday condemned the "brutal repression" of dissent by Iranian authorities and rejected accusations of foreign interference in Iran's worst political unrest in 30 years. Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said Iranian officials had summoned the diplomatic corps in Tehran on Sunday and made "unacceptable statements about several foreign leaders. It is not with such insults that the Iranian government will respond to the aspirations of its people," he said. While the U.S. and some other governments have been cautious in their response to Iran's post election protests, France has been critical of Iran's leadership and supportive of the protesters.
