answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/05/2019 answer text <p>​We remain very concerned about reports of Aras Amiri's sentence. We are still continuing to work closely with the British Council to understand the situation further and to provide what support and advice we can, recognising that unfortunately, as a mono-Iranian national, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has no formal or practical ability to request consular access. We regularly raise human rights with the Iranian authorities at all levels and we continue to take action with the international community to press Iran to improve its poor record on all human rights issues.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 30/05/2019 15:56:26 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
