Britain’s Foreign Secretary James Cleverley said, “One year after the tragic death of Mahsa Amini at the hands of Iran’s morality police, I commend the bravery of Iranian women as they continue to fight for fundamental freedoms.”
“Today’s sanctions on those responsible for Iran’s repressive laws send a clear message that the UK and our partners will stand with Iranian women and oppose its oppression of its own people,” she said.
The FCDO said the new measures are part of coordinated sanctions by Britain, Canada, Australia and the United States to mark the anniversary of Amini’s death.
