Closed petition Condemn Iran for human rights violations linked to the regime
We are urging the UK Government to condemn Iran in the strongest possible terms for recent and ongoing human rights violations linked to the regime, including the response to recent protests.
More details
There have been widespread reports of recent and ongoing human rights violations in Iran, including the arbitrary arrest and imprisonment of protestors. Hundreds of people have been arrested and dozens have died since these protests began.
This is a world human rights issue and we need a strong response from the UK Government and for the UK to take a lead internationally to try and prevent further human rights violations and loss of life.
