LONDON (Reuters) – Britain’s Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said on Monday a new round of sanctions on Iranian officials was focussed on those responsible for “heinous human rights violations”.
“Together with our partners, we have sent a clear message to the Iranian regime – the violent crackdown on protests must stop and freedom of expression must be respected,” Cleverly said in a statement.
