Dubai:
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani stated on Monday that the execution of journalist Ruhollah Zam was carried out primarily based on law and that Iran’s judiciary is independent.
“They (Europeans) have the right to comment, but Zam was executed upon a court’s ruling… I think it’s unlikely that this will hurt Iran-Europe relations,” Rouhani stated in televised remarks. Some European nations have criticised the execution.
