Amanpour viewers appreciated the interview with the Secretary General of Iran's High Council for Human Rights, Mohammad Javad Larijani, who fiercely defended his country's record on human rights. A controversial debate about this interview unleashed among most viewers with one common thought about Mr. Larijani’s words; deceit. The majority felt his statements throughout the exchange with Amanpour were incorrect and Iran “lacked democracy and human rights.”

If what Iran has is democracy then am sorry for UN, how can a member nation like Iran with a lot of government crackdown will say they have democracy?

I saw your program last night, as an Iranian I really suppose you to put this guy in trouble more. more than this comment of him I was surprised by his huge lies about prisoners, execution penalty and governmental violence against protesters.

Iran's President is illegitimate. Its government shoots its own citizens who oppose dictatorial rule. We Americans stand firmly behind Iran's young people who yearn to be free. We long to bring peace and freedom to the people of Iran, just as we brought freedom to the people of Iraq.

I watched this interview and I concluded that just like a lot of countries, Iran leads by double standards. How can Mr Larijani talk of supporting human rights with the sort of vicious crackdown on freedom of speech and expression going on in Iran? Mr Larijani needs to evaluate Iran's stance on Human Rights.
