Dhaka: Iranian foreign ministry spokesman has expressed Tehran's deep concern over the continuation of inhumane and violent actions against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.

‘Within the framework of respect for basic human rights and dignity as an internationally recognised norm, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran expresses its deep concern about the continued violation of Muslims' rights in Myanmar, which has led to the death and forced immigration of many of them,’ Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said, reports UNB.
