Australia's government needs to take steps to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation and expand the list of individuals and entities targeted by Magnitsky sanctions, a Senate inquiry has found.
It called for the Albanese government to minimise diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran "The evidence presented to the committee indicates that the IRI regime is carrying out gross human rights violations in Iran, particularly against women, girls, ethnic and religious minorities, and peaceful protesters," she said.
She said the regime was "a rogue state, responsible for acts of terrorism, cybercrime, acts of violence against its critics, hostage diplomacy and other abhorrent behaviour".
