According to Fars news agency, Kazem Gharibabadi, the deputy of international affairs of the Judiciary and the secretary of the human rights staff of the Islamic Republic of Iran, published a clip of the British foreign minister avoiding answering a question about the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia and wrote on Twitter: “The voice of international opposition to Britain’s instrumental use of human rights and its violation by this country is getting louder every day. “Unfortunately, the UK is not listening to these voices as it pursues lucrative trade deals with those whose hands are stained with the blood of innocent people.”
In the published film, British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss says: I call the Gulf countries (Persian) partners of Britain. Now, we are negotiating to conclude a trade agreement with the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council. Are all the countries we work with 100% compliant with UK policies? No, but they are important partners for the UK.
An English official asks the terrace: Is Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, the perpetrator of the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi or not?
“What I’m saying is that Saudi Arabia is an important partner for Britain,” Truss replied.
The English official asks him: 81 people are executed in one day in Saudi Arabia. Don’t you think (Arabia) is an autocratic regime?
In response to this question, he said: What I am focused on is making sure that we deal with the world’s most important threats. The number one threat we are dealing with is the threat from Russia, and in order to do that, we need to make sure we have alternative energy sources.
He added: Gulf region (Persian) is one of the key sources of energy. We do not live in a perfect world. We live in a world where we have to make difficult decisions. I think establishing a close relationship with the Gulf countries is the right thing to do.
Further, the British official, referring to the British trade document with the Persian Gulf region, which was recently published by the British Foreign Ministry, says: In this document, it is stated that the government continues to hold accountable those who violate human rights. Gives. Please tell me how this approach is currently being implemented for the countries of the region (Gulf)?
In response, Liz Truss says: These issues are raised continuously in the meetings of ministers and officials with their counterparts from the Gulf countries (Persian). I have also raised (these issues) personally.
Referring to the contradictions of Taras’ words, the English official says: The spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that you did not do that. Tell me, what was the last human rights issue that you raised with the leaders of the countries in this region?
Terras evades the answer and says that he will tell the committee about this at another time.
The British official insists on addressing every human rights issue that has been mentioned.
“Unfortunately, I have forgotten the last items, but I assure you that this matter has been stated,” says Terrass. I will tell you the details in writing.
