Speaking in an interview with FNA, the British spokesman claimed that certain events which prove the colonialist nature of his country in the past were not repeated since he was born, but declined to mention then why Britain has been the main US ally in several wars, including the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan, and why his country's military troops are running operations in the North of Africa at present. Also elsewhere in the interview, Marston claimed Iran has proved weak in respecting human rights, but declined to provide a convincing response to the question why London arrested and beaten the protesting students who did not at all want an overthrow of the British regime and were just voicing protest against tripled tuition fees in their universities.
"Police have only arrested those demonstrators who have damaged public properties or shown violent behavior," he claimed.
Marston's claim about the violation of human rights in Iran pertains to the apprehension of a small group of people in Iran who staged illegal gatherings, looted shops, damaged public properties, hit and injured civilians, including several passer-bys, and killed and wounded several police and security troops in Tehran. The spokesman did not explain why his claimed actions are viewed as violence in London protests, but much worse actions and illegal activities in Iran in pursuit of a regime change plan devised by the US and Britain should not be deemed as violent behavior, specially considering that many British embassy staff participated in the same demonstrations and illegal activities in Tehran and were even arrested.
