NCRI, LONDON: A symposium in the House of Lords on Tuesday called for
Iranian regime’s “human rights abuses, sponsorship of terrorism and
nuclear file” to be referred to the United Nations Security Council,
said the Press Association.
The symposium, held by the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran
Freedom, also denounced the Iranian regime’s “meddling in the affairs
of Iraq and the mullahs’ promotion of suicide bombers”.
In a statement afterwards, they said: “We question the British Foreign
Office’s close relations with the Teheran regime which was responsible
for the deaths of British soldiers in Iraq and whose paramilitary
Bassij force had hurled petrol bombs at the British Embassy in Teheran.”
Over 30 members of both Houses of Parliament participated in the
symposium which was jointly chaired by Lord Archer of Sandwell and Lord
Corbett of Castle Vale.
Speakers demanded de-proscription of the People’s Mojahedin
Organization of Iran, as the main opposition to the Fundamentalist
regime ruling that country.
It was also announced that 1,300 lawyers have signed a joint
declaration demanding the British government to remove the PMOI from
the EU’s list of terrorist organizations which was done to please the
clerical regime in Iran. |
