Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 March 2026

BBC World Service: Sustainability

Contribution

My Lords, has the Minister had the chance to read the debate in your Lordships’ House on 26 February about the report of the Joint Committee on Human Rights on transnational repression? Specifically, has she read the evidence that was given by Reporters Without Borders about the plight of journalists who have been reporting on events in Iran? In particular, she will see there that women journalists have been treated in the most appalling manner conceivable—independent journalists who have been left bleeding on the streets of London. Will she ensure that we take the cross-departmental action that is recommended in that report at the earliest opportunity?
