<<MP urges Britons to leave Iran after arrest of 'British linked'
suspects
All British people still in Iran should leave immediately because of the
<industrialised> level of people being taken state hostage, the chair of
the foreign affairs select committee has said. Alicia Kearns made her
call after the Iranian government said it had arrested se-ven <British
linked> suspects including some dual nationals allegedly involved in the
country's anti-government protests, which began 100 days ago. British
diplomats are seeking clarification from Iran about those
arrested.Kearns said: <This is industrialised taking of state hostages.
This is what Iran now does.> She said the individuals were being
described as <British linked> because the Iranians were trying to claim
the west and the the UK in particular had been orchestrating the
protests. <They will never admit this is because of a brutal corrupt and
oppressive regime,> Kearns said.
<Iran has shown that it will happily arrest anyone with dual
citizenship. If I was a British foreign dual national in Iran I would
absolutely be leaving because the evidence is they will use them in any
game of chess they can and use brutal repression. I would encourage
anyone from the west to leave as safely as they can,> she added. Kearns,
the Conservative MP for Rutland and Melton, called for sanctions against
Tehran to be announced every day after any protester was executed by the
Iranian regime. She also challenged a claim made by Rishi Sunak that the
Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps had already been placed under UK
sanctions. He made the claim while giving evidence to the Commons
liaison committee The IRGC does not appear as a sanctioned entity on the
latest consolidated list of Iranian individuals and entities subject to
asset freezes or travel bans. The seven arrested men were reportedly
taken into custody in Kerman province and deemed to be members of a
group code named Zagros, dedicated to planning protests.>>

<<Iranian rapper wins appeal against protests-linked death sentence
Tehran, Iran - An Iranian rapper has won an appeal against his death
sentence in relation to the country's ongoing protests, while another
man's bid against a similar sentence was rejected. The Iranian
judi-ciary said on Saturday the Supreme Court had accepted the appeal of
Saman Seyyedi, an ethnic Kurd rapper also known as Saman Yasin. It cited
flaws in the investigation of the case without disclosing further
details. Seyyedi, who had supported protesters online and had written
several protest songs, was convicted by an Iranian court of moharebeh or
<waging war against God>. He had been accused of attempting to kill
security forces and shooting a handgun into the air during the unrest
that authorities refer to as <riots>. There were reports last week -
unconfirmed by Iranian officials - that Seyyedi had survived after
trying to kill himself in prison amid reports that he could be executed
imminently. In an initial announcement on Satur-day, the judiciary's
official news website said another young man, Mohammad Ghobadlou, had
also successfully appealed his death sentence. But an update later in
the day clarified that his appeal was rejected by the Supreme Court. The
22-year-old was convicted by a Revolutionary Court of <corruption on
Earth> for allegedly running over and killing a member of the security
forces with his car and injuring several others.>>
