British MPs support democratic change in Iran

NCRI – British MPs have issued a strongly-worded statement demanding Iranian rulers are prosecuted for the ‘systematic violation’ of human rights in the theocratic regime.

They also called for endangered Camp Liberty residents to be urgently returned to Ashraf and expressed their anxiety over Iran’s secret nuclear weapons programme.

The statement signed by the majority of Westminster MPs also backed Iranian Resistance leader Maryam Rajavi’s ten-point plan for the future of Iran after the terrorist dictatorship is overthrown.

They wrote: “We condemn the systematic violation of human rights in Iran and are strongly disturbed by the regime’s secret nuclear programme and its terrorist involvements in the region and the world.

“Iranian people and the international community desire democratic change in Iran in 2013. We strongly support the 10-point plan proposed by Mrs Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, and urge our government to do so.
“We call on our government and the UN Secretary General to refer Iran’s human right dossier to the Security Council and call for prosecution of the perpetrators of crimes against humanity in Iran.”

The statement also condemned the deadly missile attack on Camp Liberty on February 9 which left eight dead and more than 100 injured.

It added: “We are deeply concerned by the security of the Iranian refugees at Camp Liberty, Iraq, members of the main Iranian opposition.

“The most urgent issue is the security of the residents in Camp Liberty who could face similar tragedies at any moment.

“We urge the UNHCR to immediately return them to Camp Ashraf, their home of 26 years, which is much more secure against such attacks, being 80 times larger than Liberty prison, from where they can be transferred to third countries.”
