(National-UAE) The UK Foreign Office has pledged to investigate claims that family members of Iran’s leaders are applying for British passports to seek refuge in London, as protests continue in their country.
Iranians have taken to the streets to protest against the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, in Tehran on September 16. She had [been] detained by the morality police three days earlier for wearing her hijab “improperly.”
Conservative MP Bob Stewart told the House of Commons on Tuesday that he had heard “substantial rumours” that Iranian elites were attempting to make London “a place of safe refuge” and were applying for British passports.
