The U.K. government should put an embargo on the sale of mobile-phone software to Iran that assists in the tracking, arrest and repression of opposition activists, a senior lawmaker said.

In the House of Lords today, David Alton asked why the sale of such software to Iran is allowed; what the government makes of democracy activists who say it has been used against them; and asked for an accounting of sales to Iran of such gear by Creativity Software Ltd., a British technology company which has had links to Foreign Secretary William Hague.
“Iranian democracy activists state that during interrogation and torture they have been confronted with complete telephone records of their conversations and with details of their movements intercepted by mobile telephone monitoring devices manufactured in the U.K.,” Alton said in questions presented today.

He asked if the government intends “to permit Creativity Software to continue providing British-made intercept software and equipment to Irancell.”

Creativity Software this year sold a system that enables Iranian law enforcement and security forces to monitor cell phone locations, Bloomberg News reported on Oct. 31 citing three people familiar with the transaction.

From David Alton ('Professor Lord Alton of Liverpool', sits in the House of Lords, asked a PQ about this issue in the House yesterday):

I fear that university and parliamentary commitments would probably make it impossible to get to a protest at their offices - but I will be happy to circulate details to the handful of journalists I am in touch with.

Thank you, David. It would have more credibility coming from you.

I saw your PQs with great interest, and will be watching your blog for updates. Shocked that a UK firm would be willing to sell this kind of people-tracking software to a repressive regime.
