answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2020 answer text <p>We are aware of reports of violence used against protesters nationwide in Iran between 15-18 November 2019. We unreservedly support the right to peaceful protest and call on Iran to uphold its commitments under international law to protect freedom of assembly and speech. The UK regularly raises 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, including recently raising at the UN Human Rights Council in March this year. We agree with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights' call for a transparent investigation to occur, and we believe it must be credible. We continue to urge Iran to allow the independent UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran access to the country, so that he can carry out his mandate, which includes monitoring and investigating any human rights violations.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 18/03/2020 17:50:15 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
