<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>
