answer text <p>FCDO is aware of Mr Ghahremani's case. We continue to call on Iran to establish a moratorium on executions, including at the UN General Assembly last year. We have sanctioned 94 individuals or entities for human rights violations since September 2022, including the Prosecutor General and Deputy Prosecutor General who are responsible for Iran's application of the death penalty.

answer text <p>The UK remains deeply concerned by reports of gender-based violence (GBV), including conflict-related sexual violence, in Yemen. We know that in conflict, women and girls are disproportionately impacted. That is why we have made Yemen a focus country in the UK's National Action Plan on Women, Peace &amp; Security. Through the National Action Plan, cross-government efforts will prioritise women's full, equal, meaningful and safe participation in conflict prevention, reduction and resolution. The UK champions the important role women, youth and civil society can play - both in securing, and sustaining, peace in Yemen.</p><p>In addition, FCDO funds our Women and Children Programme to address the needs of women and children in Yemen. Funding for 2023-2024 is £38 million. This will include interventions aimed at preventing and responding to GBV in subsequent years.</p> more like this

This includes reporting on species that are unique to the OTs and the status of protected areas in the OTs. The Government is also working closely with the OTs to develop a new shared Overseas Territories Biodiversity Strategy. The new strategy is being designed to benefit all OTs, providing a tool to guide and attract long-term investment in OT biodiversity, and highlighting the importance of building a stronger evidence base for biodiversity conservation efforts in the OTs.</p> more like this
