answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2022 answer text <p>The death of Mahsa Amini is a shocking reminder of the repression faced by women in Iran. Iran's most senior diplomat in the UK was summoned to the FCDO on 3 October. The UK again reiterated to him our condemnation of Iran's action on 26 October, in a meeting with the Minister for the Middle East Lord (Tariq) Ahmad. On 10 September, the UK announced sanctions on the Morality Police and two of its leaders. The UK also imposed sanctions on five other leading political and security officials for serious human rights violations. Sanctions demonstrate clearly to the Iranian authorities, that the UK will hold it to account for repression of women and girls and the violence inflicted on its people. We continue to raise human rights with the Iranian authorities at every opportunity.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 08/11/2022 17:25:21 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
