TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's Judiciary Chief Seyed Ebrahim Rayeesi blasted the US government for cruelties towards the colored people, saying that US President Donald Trump has resorted to force to suppress the protests.
"The US and European people pull down the statues of slavery to show that they want materialization of justice and end of oppression and discrimination, but the unwise US president is after suppressing them by resorting to force," Rayeesi said, addressing a meeting of the Judiciary officials in Tehran on Monday.
He said that the US and European people's wrath against cruelty and injustice will not soothe easily, adding that it cannot be suppressed by criminal police and security acts.
"We rest assured that this move will lead to annihilation of cruelty and the oppressors," Rayeesi said.
Mass protests and riots sparked in many US states following the death of African American George Floyd. He died in hospital after a police officer used a choke hold during his arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota. All four involved police officers were fired and charged. The National Guard joined local police in an effort to combat the riots. A curfew was introduced in nearly 40 cities, including Washington DC and New York.
The riots in the United States show deep internal crises in this country, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
"What has happened [in the US] is the manifestation of some deep domestic crises," the head of state stated, noting that this crisis had been observed for a long time since US President Donald Trump assumed office.
"When he won, and his victory was absolutely obvious and democratic, the defeated party invented all sort of bogus stories just to call into question his legitimacy," Putin explained.
The Russian leader stated that he usually tries to "comment carefully or not to comment at all what is happening in other countries".
Putin also added that the key problem of the US political system is the fact that parties place their interests above those of people.
"It seems to me that the problem is that group party interests in this case are placed above the interests of the entire society and the interests of people," the Russian leader said commenting on the events in the United States.
