Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on Wednesday accused the West of “double standards” on women’s rights as his country is gripped by protests over the death of a woman arrested by religious police.

“We have this double standard where attention is solely focused on one side and not all,” the hardline cleric told the United Nations General Assembly, pointing to deaths of indigenous women in Canada and Israeli actions in the Palestinian territories.
