The National Security Advisor of the future US administration's reaction to Zam's execution

Jake Sullivan, Biden's pick for the position of US National Security Advisor, condemned the execution of Ruhollah Zam and emphasized that the United States, along with its allies, will stand against human rights violations in Iran.

Jake Sullivan, President-elect Joe Biden's pick for the position of national security adviser, called the execution of Ruhollah Zam a "disgusting violation of human rights" by the Islamic Republic and emphasized that the United States stands with its allies against human rights violations in Iran.

Sullivan wrote on his personal Twitter page on Sunday evening, December 13: "The execution of Ruhollah Zam, a journalist who was denied due process and convicted for exercising his universal rights, is another horrific example of the Iranian regime's human rights violations."

The execution of Ruhollah Zam has sparked strong international reactions. The European-Iran economic summit, which was scheduled to be held in Tehran on Sunday (December 14), was canceled following the execution of Ruhollah Zam.

The French Foreign Ministry announced that its ambassador, along with the ambassadors of Germany, Austria and Italy, would not attend the meeting. An editor of the Guardian newspaper, who was to host one of the sessions, also called Zam's execution "disgusting" and said he would refuse to attend the Europe-Iran economic summit.

Jake Sullivan continued his tweet by emphasizing that the United States, along with its allies, will “stand firm and will not remain silent” against human rights violations in Iran.
