The UK Government takes the issue of disinformation very seriously and is working with partners to combat false and misleading narratives. We have long been clear about our concerns over Iran's continued destabilising activity. This includes information operations against our allies in the Middle East, Europe and North America. As the Foreign Secretary has made clear, the UK is committed to working with the international community to ensure Iran abides by international laws and norms and is held to account for its destabilising activity.

Successful Presidential and legislative elections in 2019 were important milestones in Tunisia's journey since the 2011 revolution. The British Embassy in Tunisia participated in election observation of Tunisia's 2019 Presidential elections, with international partners. We remain clear that free and fair elections and functioning democratic institutions are essential components of a democracy. We strongly support the people of Tunisia in their pursuit of effective, democratic, and transparent governance. The UK Government takes the issue of disinformation very seriously. Internationally, we actively support NGOs and other organisations in research to inform technology companies, partner governments and others about the misuse of online platforms for disinformation purposes, and to disrupt advertising revenues from websites.
