www.unwatch.org "Iranians interrupt UN racism session", UPI, April 23, 2009 at 5 PM A human rights group says members of the Iranian delegation disrupted its speech Thursday to the United Nations racism conference in Switzerland. UN Watch issued a statement contending that Iran twice interrupted the speech to call for points of order as the group's speaker addressed the plight of Ahmed Batebi, who had spoken to the conference earlier about being tortured by Iranian authorities. The statement said the Iranians twice called on the chair of the session "to instruct UN Watch to stick to the agenda item under discussion, which was 'objectives of the conference.'" The reported incident was the latest in a stormy conference for the Iranians, whose outspoken president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, blasted Israel in a speech this week, prompting many delegates to walk out. UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer was allowed to complete his address Thursday, in which he chided the conference for, as he put it, ignoring the testimony of Batebi and other activists and political prisoners from around the world. In a conference that promised to review countries' performance on racism, "why did the conference in fact fail to review a single country that perpetrates racism, discrimination and intolerance?" Neuer said in his remarks.
