With great respect, sir, you talk about rights and democracy. A fundamental principle of rights and democracy is that when you're making an accusation or allegation with respect to someone of the international reputation of Mr. Akhavan, you don't drag his reputation through the mud, you don't make allegations without having substantive response from Mr. Akhavan, and you give Mr. Akhavan a chance to respond. That's what you do.
