Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is using his Twitter account to criticize the United States over the protests in Baltimore following the death of Freddie Gray.

Khamenei's tweets include topics such as police brutality, slavery, the Civil War, and President Barack Obama, ironically criticizing police in the United States "who ignore humanity," and using hashtags such as #blacklivesmatter, #FreddieGray, #WalterScott, #MikeBrown, #slavery, #EricGarner, #TrayvonMartin and #Baltimore

US Police kill people over any excuse; this type of power doesn't ensure security but leads to insecurity. #Baltimore pic.twitter.com/ClFrhhaJlH

Power with cruelty isn't favored by #Islam. #Police should embody justice and mercy while being potent. pic.twitter.com/EAFn2ybpLm

Even abolition of #slavery in #US wasn't based on humanitarian intents but on North-South wars & conflict b/t landowners & industrialists.

They celebrate a day for abolition of slavery but such crimes are committed against the blacks. #EricGarner #TrayvonMartin #BlackLivesMatter

It's ridiculous that even though US President is black, still such crimes agnst US blacks continue to occur. #BlackLivesMatter #FreddieGray

Acquittal of US cops who committed murder is among measures taken by statesmen who ignore humanity& religion. #BlackLivesMatter #WalterScott

On false pretexts US police shoots ppl on streets. This is a type of power which doesn't ensure security but leads to insecurity. #MikeBrown

Power & tyranny are different. In some countries like US, police are seemingly powerful but they kill innocents. #FreddieGray #RekiaBoyd
