Iran: Women's Rights

Asked by Tracy GilbertLabourForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 26 November 2024UIN 901461

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, when he last discussed women's rights with the Iranian ambassador to the UK.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

There is currently no Iranian ambassador to the UK. However, we regularly deliver robust messages on human rights directly to the Iranian regime, including through our Ambassador in Tehran. On 13 August, I highlighted, via X, the UK’s continued support for Iranian women and girls and our commitment to calling out the regime’s unacceptable behaviour.
