‘What we’re seeing play out in Iran is stomach turning’: Chris Bowen

Federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen says, “what we’re seeing play out in Iran is stomach turning”, “disgusting” and a “front to human rights” particularly to “women everywhere”.

“And Australia should join, has joined the international condemnation,” Mr Bowen said at a media conference on Saturday.

Mr Bowen said when you add “these sorts of sanctions”, it becomes condemnation with that “little bit extra meaning”.

“I really hope that there’s progress in Iran in the coming period and that Iranian people get the democracy that they deserve and the rights they deserve, particularly Iranian women.”
