“Ahmed Shaheed’s reports are collection of baseless accusations, which have been gathered from a group of terrorism-related references,” IRIB quoted Larijani as saying on Wednesday.
He added that Shaheed is a media puppet and his cohorts are terrorists who pose as human rights activists, hence Iran does not accept his appointment and pays no attention to his reports.
He also noted that Iran is the most democratic nation in West Asia and only pays heed to the UN Universal Periodic Reviews.
In his recent report, Shaheed accused Iran of human rights violations and censured the execution of drug traffickers.
Under pressure from the US and its allies, the UN Human Rights Council named the former Maldivian foreign minister as its human rights investigator for Iran in June 2011.
