The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Putin. Khomeini died in 1989. Robert Jenrick wanted to be Tory leader, but doesn't appear very well informed about current affairs.

As an addendum to this, it took four months to get this information, which would have been publicly available at the time of conviction.
The Times had to appoint counsel and attend a hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court to secure its release. That is not an expense all publishers can afford.

Reform MP James McMurdock was jailed for repeatedly kicking his girlfriend.
He had told the media he was jailed for "pushing" his former partner in 2006.
Court records obtained by The Times say the sentence was given because of "the serious nature of the offence”.
