Iran: Politics and Government

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he has met with pro-democracy campaigners in Iran since 4 July 2024.

Answer

The Foreign Secretary has not visited Iran. The Islamic Republic's human rights record is unacceptable. The UK helped deliver a resolution on the human rights situation in Iran at the UN Third Committee in November 2024. In January, the Foreign Secretary raised human rights directly with his Iranian counterpart. We will continue to raise rights issues directly with the regime, including through our Ambassador in Tehran.
