UPDATE ON IRAN PROTESTS:
CROSS-PARTY UK MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT STRONGLY SUPPORT IRAN PROTESTS.
At a conference in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 January, cross-party MPs and Members of House of Lords discussed the future UK Policy on Iran following the recent protests in the country. The cross-party speakers stressed that the waves of popular protests across Iran since December 2017 with chants targeting the regime, its Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), are the public rejection of the ruling theocracy and a nationwide demand for change and a democratic, free Iran. They strongly supported the protests which continue across the country despite authorities’ brutal response with the IRGC and Security Forces killing at least 1,500 protesters and arresting thousands of others.
The British MPs strongly supported the Iran Protests which continue across the country despite the regime’s brutal response with the IRGC and Security Forces killing at least 1,500 protesters, arresting 12,000 and injuring 4,000 of protesters.
