Iran slams US lawmakers' support for anti-regime protests
US lawmakers backed the measure to support anti-government protesters in Iran
Tehran - Emiratesvoice
Iran lashed out at the US House of Representatives on Wednesday after lawmakers adopted a resolution supporting recent anti-government protests in the Islamic republic.
Foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi "strongly condemned" what he called "interference" in Iran's internal affairs, Iranian media reported.
"Such resolutions and hostile statements of the US government show the domineering nature of US leaders," he added.
US lawmakers on Tuesday backed the resolution almost unanimously, by a vote of 415 to two.
It said the House "stands with the people of Iran that are engaged in legitimate and peaceful protests against an oppressive, corrupt regime," and condemns the government's "serious human rights abuses against the Iranian people".
Violent unrest fuelled by economic grievances erupted in dozens of Iranian cities between December 28 and January 1, leaving at least 21 people dead.
The resolution called on President Donald Trump's administration to issue new sanctions punishing Iran's human rights violators.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
