"UK foreign secretary James Cleverley has called for Iran to “stop the repression of voices within their own country” – the latest instalment of a long tradition of UK politicians expressing (or feigning, depending on your stance) concern for Iranians’ human rights. But any government interested in Iranians’ human rights while simultaneously building borders to keep Iranian refugees out and deporting them if they get here – in contravention of international law – has a dubious relationship to human rights at best."
