answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2023 answer text <p>The repeated violations of basic human rights committed by the Iranian regime against its own citizens is abhorrent. Working with our international partners, the UK secured the removal of Iran from the UN Commission on the Support of Women on 14 December, and the establishment of a UN investigation into the regime's response to protests at the Human Rights Council on 24 November. On 9 December, the UK implemented a third round of human rights sanctions against individuals involved in the suppression of protests, bringing the total to over 40 individuals and one entity since the protests began. We will continue to urge Iran to improve its human rights record at all appropriate opportunities, including on women and girls, and to work with international partners to ensure accountability.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 11/01/2023 11:42:24 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2023 answer text <p>The use of the death penalty against protestors standing up for their basic human rights is morally abhorrent. The UK opposes the death penalty in all circumstances. On 20 December Lord (Tariq) Ahmad of Wimbledon spoke to Iran's most senior diplomat to protest against Iran's continued use of the death penalty. On 8 December, the Foreign Secretary released a statement demanding that Iran halt all executions and end the violence against its own people. On 9 December we sanctioned 10 Iranian officials connected to Iran's judicial and prison systems, including six individuals linked to the Revolutionary Courts that have been responsible for prosecuting protestors with egregious sentences including the death penalty.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 11/01/2023 11:23:09 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
