(Iran International) Australia says it will not tolerate Iran’s attempts to suppress dissent abroad amid threats by regime officials to Australian citizens.
In a statement communicated to Iran International, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs emphasized that “Australia does not tolerate, under any circumstances, attempts by foreign regimes to disrupt peaceful protests, or to try to push violence or suppress specific views from being expressed.”
“Nor will we tolerate hostile acts in the form of surveillance, harassment or intimidation against individuals or family members here in Australia. Australia’s foreign interference laws are unequivocal, and allegations of foreign interference are investigated and, if substantiated, will be prosecuted.”
