Tehran denies UN report blaming Iran for rights breach

The European Union is planning to expand its sanctions against Iran over what it calls human rights violations in the country.

E-U diplomats have said the new measures will be imposed in the coming week.

The move follows the release of a UN report accusing Iran of rights violations.

Tehran has dismissed the report, calling it biased and undocumented.

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman has said the document is just a repetition of Western allegations against Tehran.

Ramin Mehmanparast said Iran is committed to respecting people's fundamental rights and dignity based on the Constitution and the teachings of Islam.
