Government responds to petition about uprising in Iran

The Government has responded to a public (paper) petition about recent uprisings in Iran. The petition was presented to the House of Commons on behalf of residents of the United Kingdom.

The petition asks the House of Commons to urge the Government to support the Iranian people's uprising and their desire for democracy.

In response to the petition's request, the Government states that the UK stands with the people of Iran, who it says must be empowered to determine the future of their country.

The Government also states that it has announced eight rounds of human rights sanctions, targeting political, security and prison officials as well as Iran's Prosecutor General.
