About 600 international film stars writers and actors voiced their objection to Alidoosti’s arrest, a level of support unprecedented for any of the 10,000-plus Iranians arrested since the protests began three months ago. Meanwhile, a British plan to proscribe the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Council as a terrorist organisation is causing difficulties for the German foreign minister, Annalena Baerbock, who is due to meet her British counterpart, James Cleverly, in London on Thursday for bilateral talks.
Röttgen said on Tuesday: “Britain took the lead in what needed to be done. IRGC should be included in the list of terrorist organisations. In the European Union, all the prerequisites for this action are present. If Mrs Baerbock’s message of solidarity is serious, she should start working and fight for this goal now.”
