The use of the death penalty against protestors standing up for their basic human rights is abhorrent. The UK opposes the death penalty in all circumstances. On 9 January the Foreign Secretary summoned Iran's most senior diplomat in the UK to condemn these executions in the strongest terms. We have repeatedly delivered the same message to the regime through our ambassador in Tehran, and in London - including when Lord Ahmad spoke to the Chargé d'Affaires on 20 December to protest against the death sentences. On 9 December we sanctioned 10 officials connected to Iran's judicial and prison systems, including six linked to the Revolutionary Courts responsible for protesters' egregious sentences. We will continue to press Iranian regime to end its appalling use of the death penalty as a tool to stifle dissent.

The UK is committed to holding Iran to account on a wide range of human rights issues, including the appalling treatment of children and women throughout Iran's brutal crackdown of protests. The UK supported the 24 November Human Rights Council resolution establishing a UN investigation into the regime's appalling human rights violations. We worked closely with partners to successfully remove Iran from the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women. The FCDO has called on Iranian authorities in multiple international fora to abide by its obligations under international law to release unfairly detained protesters.

We condemn the killing and detention of Baluchi leaders calling for equal rights and an end to repression in Sistan and Baluchestan Province. We continue to raise human rights with the regime at every appropriate opportunity, both directly and in multilateral fora. On 14 November, the UK sanctioned 24 individuals for violations of human rights in the repression of protests. This is on top of sanctions on 10 October against Iran's so called 'morality police'. At a Special Session of the Human Rights Council on 24 November, the UK and our partners secured the establishment of an investigative mechanism into the regime's response to protests and their subsequent continued human rights abuses. The UK will work with our partners to ensure this delivers for the people of Iran.

The IMS portion of the debt has been closed and will no longer be pursued.

A determination of the status in UK law of the findings of courts in foreign jurisdictions is a matter for the UK courts, as and when the need arises for such a determination in domestic proceedings.

The Government is delighted that after years of detention, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is safely home and has been reunited with her family and loved ones.

The Iranian Government committed to releasing Morad from prison on indefinite furlough and has failed to honour that commitment. Continuing his horrendous ordeal sends a clear message to the international community that Iran does not honour its commitments. We continue to urge the Iranian authorities at every opportunity to release him immediately. Morad is a tri-national and we are working closely with the United States to secure his permanent release and departure from Iran.

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Travel Advice provides information to help British nationals make informed decisions about foreign travel. It remains under constant review to ensure the advice reflects our latest assessment of risks to British nationals.

FCDO travel advice for Iran (https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/iran) advises British-Iranian dual nationals against all travel to Iran. It states that there is 'a risk that British nationals could be arrested without clear cause, questioned by the security services or arbitrarily detained' and there is 'a significantly higher risk to British-Iranian dual nationals.' Advice further states that 'In all cases of detention in Iran, the FCDO has serious concerns that the subsequent judicial process falls below international standards'.

Despite multiple requests, officials have not been granted access by the Iranian Authorities to visit detained dual British nationals or to attend their trials. Iran does not recognise dual nationality nor grant consular access to our dual national detainees. Although we have never been granted either consular access or sight of the judicial process, our Ambassador in Tehran has consistently requested consular access alongside raising health concerns and mistreatment allegations. FCDO negotiators held intensive discussions with senior Iranian officials and our Ambassador in Tehran has been in regular talks with Iranian Ministers and senior officials. It was always entirely in Iran's gift to release Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe and the UK does not, and never will, accept our nationals being used as diplomatic leverage.

It has not proved possible to respond to the hon. Member in the time available before Prorogation.

All legal proceedings in the dispute between International Military Services (IMS) Ltd and Iran's Ministry of Defence (MODSAF) have been dismissed.

We remain committed to securing the immediate and permanent release of unfairly detained British nationals in Iran, including Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe. The Foreign Secretary continues to raise Iran's practice of detaining British dual nationals with her Iranian counterpart, Foreign Minister Amir-Abdolahian and, and I [Minister Cleverly] most recently raised with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Baqeri Kani on 11 November. Our Ambassador in Tehran continues to raise these cases with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, most recently on 8 March.

Since the reopening of the UK Embassy in Tehran in 2015, despite multiple requests, officials have not been granted access by the Iranian Authorities to visit detained dual British nationals or to attend their trials. Iran does not recognise dual nationality nor grant consular access to our dual national detainees. We have repeatedly pressed, and will continue to press, for consular access and appropriate medical care. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office provides a range of assistance to British nationals detained in Iran and their families. We regularly lobby the Iranians on health concerns and mistreatment allegations - and for the immediate and permanent release of all unfairly detained dual British nationals in Iran.
