Teheran, Iran on Tuesday said the three-year jail sentence imposed by Austria on the British writer David Irving for denying the Holocaust clearly showed the “Western paradox” on freedom of expression.
Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said the West on the one hand claims freedom of expression but on the other, implements the opposite in practice.
He said that during his talks in Brussels on Monday in the European Parliament “the deputies were not even willing to open this discussion.”
