Iran parliament bans UN rights envoy visit to Tehran

The Iranian parliament will not allow the newly appointed United Nations human rights special rapporteur for Iran to come to Tehran on a fact-finding visit, it was reported Sunday.

The official news agency IRNA reported that the parliament's Human Rights Committee decided Sunday that Ahmed Shaheed, former Maldivian foreign minister, should not be allowed to visit Tehran.

The UN has several times voiced concern by what it saw as grave violations of human rights in Iran.
