<p>The Iranian regime's violent repression of the Iranian people, including in Sanandaj
and the Kurdistan Province, is a stark reminder of the deplorable status of human
rights in Iran. The Foreign Secretary summoned Iran's most senior diplomat in the
UK on 3 October, we then reiterated with him on 26 October, our absolute condemnation
of Iran's nationwide crackdown on peaceful protestors. The UK raises human rights
at all appropriate opportunities, in London and via His Majesty's Ambassador in Tehran.
The UK maintains close to 300 sanctions designations against Iran, in relation to
nuclear proliferation, terrorism and including 87 human rights designations. We work
with international partners to hold Iran to account, through the UN Human Rights Council,
Security Council, G7 and the UN General Assembly Third Committee.</p>
