European nations have strongly criticised the latest trials in Iran over the unrest that followed the disputed presidential poll.
Iranian workers at the French and British embassies and a French national were among dozens of detainees to appear in court in Tehran.
The EU presidency said action against any EU national or embassy would be seen as an act against the whole bloc.
The UK and France also spoke out against the trial.
This is the second group trial of those accused of taking part in the mass protests that erupted after the 12 June
AND WHAT DOES THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION THINK?!
HILLARY MENTIONED THEM IN RESPONSE TO A QUESTION DURING A TAPED INTERVIEW: NYTIMES:
Mr. Zakaria also asked Mrs. Clinton about “show trials” for political protesters and journalists in Iran.
“It is a sign of weakness,” Mrs. Clinton said of the trials. “It demonstrates, I think, better than any of us could ever say, that this Iranian leadership is afraid of their own people, and afraid of the truth and the facts coming out.”
Mr. Zakaria interviewed Mrs. Clinton on Tuesday in Kenya. Their discussion will be broadcast Sunday on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS.”
THAT'S IT. OBAMA IS SILENT.
WHEN THE EU IS MORE HAWKISH THAN THE USA THEN SOMETHING IS VERY VERY WRONG.
AND THAT THING THAT IS VERY VERY WRONG OCCUPIES THE WHITE HOUSE!
FOR THE TIME BEING....
