Note: Mohsen Baharvand (April 4, 1966) is an Iranian diplomat who served as ambassador of Iran to United Kingdom from July 2021 to February 2022.[1][2] In February 2022, Baharvand organized an event to celebrate the 43rd anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. A video circulated showing an embassy reception in London. A woman playing piano alongside a male violinist and several other women were not wearing their hijab, despite the hijab being required in Iran.[3][4][5] After the video circulated, he was ordered back to Tehran by the Foreign Ministry and was removed from position as diplomat.[6]
