Raising human rights violations in Iran

This week we supported international law firm Pogust Goodhead to organise a parliamentary panel and reception on human rights violations in Iran. This timely event followed a renewed focus on women’s rights and freedoms, and debates on the proscription of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in the UK.

The panel was attended by representatives across the legal, academic and human rights sector, and marked the launch of Pogust Goodhead’s new Iranian Initiative, a framework designed to document human rights abuses and seek justice for victims through international courts.

It was fantastic to be joined by an esteemed panel of experts, Alicia Alinia, Christine Jardine MP, Rana Rahimpour, Professor Javaid Rehman and Rodney Dixon KC. Many thanks also to Christine for hosting and sponsoring the event.
