RIYADH, March 16 (Xinhua) -- Bahrain has sent a protest memo to Swiss Foreign Ministry to reject the statement delivered by a Swiss representative to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), Bahrain News Agency reported Thursday.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlighted that the statement includes clear fallacies, untrue claims and bare accusations on the human rights status in Bahrain which in fact owns clean record that stands for a model in protecting human rights within national constitutional institutions and at par with international standards.
It stresses the need to observe facts, adhere to consultations with Bahrain, respect its sovereignty, abide by the basic principles that are ingrained in international cooperation principles, obtain well-sourced news and not to be dragged into a quagmire of the fallacies.
