The UK has announced fresh sanctions on 30 individuals and entities the government described as 'corrupt political figures, human rights violators and perpetrators of conflict-related sexual violence'
As part of the package, eight individuals involved in serious human rights abuses and violations have been designated under the Global Human Rights regime, which allows the UK to stop them from entering the country, channelling money through UK banks or profiting from the British economy.
• Ten Iranian officials connected to Iran's judicial and prison systems, including former directors of Evin Prison where Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe was held, and those responsible for handing out death penalties to protesters • Mali's Katiba Macina group, also known as the Macina Liberation Front, who are known for sexual violence, including forced marriages
• Uganda's former inspector general of police, general Kale Kayihura, for overseeing human rights violations, including torture
