LONDON, Dec 9 - Britain on Friday announced sanctions targeting 30 people around the world who it described as "corrupt political figures, human rights violators and perpetrators of conflict-related sexual violence." It said the sanctions were coordinated with international partners to mark International Anti-Corruption Day and Global Human Rights Day and included individuals involved in activities including the torture of prisoners and the mobilisation of troops to rape civilians.

"Today our sanctions go further to expose those behind the heinous violations of our most fundamental rights," Foreign Secretary James Cleverly said in a statement.- 10 Iranian officials connected to Iran’s judicial and prison systems- Russian Colonel Ibatullin for his role as the commander of the 90th Tank Division

The U.S. and E.U. And our other allies such as Australia need to ALL do this and more; and, 30 people it not nearly enough (but is a good start) : EVERY corrupt regime and their supporters should be targeted (Russia, China, Iran, N. Korea etcetera etcetera).

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Sanctions don't work, they only harm the people.

KayBurley Great so JamesCleverly will you be sanctioning Patel & Braverman, Boris & Stanley Johnson, Prince Andrew, Stephen Crabb, Pincher, Piers Morgan, the entire cast of GBNews.......?

KayBurley What about sanctions at home in the UK then? There is plenty in the current Government to choose from?

Does it include politicians accepting Russian roubles and wife of PM whose company continues to trade in Russia

Are Bidens in the list

What a bunch of hypocrites, meanwhile the UK is filled with fabians who have raped and murdered children and avoid justice. Financial collapse and their executions could not come fast enough.
