Execution of Habib Chaab: Foreign Secretary's statement
Foreign Secretary James Cleverly has issued a statement following the execution of Swedish-Iranian dual national Habib Chaab by Iran
I am appalled at news the Iranian regime executed Swedish-Iranian dual national Habib Chaab.
The UK strongly opposes the death penalty. We call on the regime to stop all executions, now.
We will continue to work with Sweden and other partners to hold this regime to account.
