<p>The UK Government has repeatedly expressed its concern at Nasrin Sotoudeh's ongoing
detention. This was most recently raised with the Iranian Ambassador on 22 September,
when we handed over a letter from E3 Foreign Ministers about the human rights situation
in Iran. On 25 September the UK also joined 46 other countries in calling for her
release at the Human Rights Council. Iran's record on human rights is of serious and
longstanding concern to the UK, and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office
has designated it as one of its Human Rights Priority Countries. We regularly raise
human rights with the Iranians 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>
