Massoud Shadjareh, head of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, believes President Hassan Rouhani’s victory in the presidential election belongs to the whole nation, adding that the “great value” of what Iranians have managed to achieve should not be underestimated.

“This is really a victory on massive scale and despite all the things that is being said in the West and accusations and so forth, by any standard, Western standard or any other standard, this is an amazing achievement and one should congratulate the Iranian nation as a whole,” Shadjareh told Press TV in an interview on Saturday.
