Tehran, Dec 24, IRNA -- Head of Iran's Red Crescent Society (IRCS) Ahmad Ali Nourbala on Tuesday expressed deep concern about violation of human rights of Iranian migrants and several detention cases against members of Iranian Community in the United States.

In a message to President and Chief Executive Officer of American Red Cross Mrs. Marsha Johnson Evans, Nourbala said that the IRCS is ready to extend counsel assistance to the Iranians.

Nourbala regretted that members of Iranian community in the United States have been exposed to violation of human rights by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and called on the American Red Cross to take action to ease the sufferings of the Iranian community in the US in line with the humanitarian goals of the Red Cross away from politics.

Meanwhile, Nourbala called on the Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to do their best to help secure the release of Iranians from detention in the United States.

He said in his message to Mrs. Evans that immediately after September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, the IRCS extended condolence to the American Red Cross on the loss of lives of innocent people and condemned such evil acts of terrorism.

Iranian Foreign Ministry has protested to the Swiss government which holds the US interest section in Iran against the harsh treatment the INS has imposed on members of Iranian community in the United States while they had been voluntarily registering with the office in Los Angeles as required.
