sanction

In July, the UK government placed Jalal, who lived in Bradford, on a list of criminals subject to financial sanctions.

The first motion urged the government to "apply further sanctions to put pressure on the Israeli government to respect international law" and "continue to demand the immediate release of all hostages" held by Hamas.

With a sanctioned strength of 160 that experts say has never been completely filled, the court is severely understaffed.

Those who refuse to take up the offer without a reasonable excuse will face sanctions such as losing their benefits.

The UK, France and Germany have called on Iran not to escalate tensions and to pursue negotiations after UN sanctions were reinstated on Saturday.
