The ECAJ has lodged a sub­mis­sion with the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Ref­er­ences Committee in response to its Inquiry into Human rights implic­a­tions of recent violence in Iran. The sub­mis­sion calls for: Australia to impose further sanctions on Iranian officials and gov­ern­ment agencies; the IRGC and Basij to be listed as terrorist organ­isa­tions; the expulsion of Iran from the UN Com­mis­sion on the Status of Women; Australia’s Smartrav­el­ler advisory webpage with regard to Iran to provide more detailed and explicit warnings about the cruel methods of execution, torture and other forms of mis­treat­ment, including beatings and sexual assault, which trav­el­lers risk if they are detained; and tracking of Iranian funds to Aus­trali­an charities and not-for-profits.
