The British Committee for Iran Freedom (BCFIF) strongly condemns the public executions of Amirhossein Safari and Abolfazl Sepahi in Isfahan today, together with the execution of Mehdi Khanki and the continuing wave of executions across Iran. These barbaric acts constitute grave violations of fundamental human rights and form part of the Iranian regime's systematic policy of repression, intimidation, and the silencing of dissent.

Calls for a comprehensive strategy against the Iranian Regime

The British Committee for Iran Freedom (BCFIF) warmly welcomes the United Kingdom’s decision to proscribe the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation. This crucial, long-overdue step is essential to confronting one of the world’s most dangerous instruments of state-sponsored terrorism, domestic repression, and regional destabilisation.

Meeting in UK Parliament calls for recognition of the NCRI’s Provisional Government, proscription of the IRGC, and immediate international accountability to end executions in Iran.

On Wednesday cross-party Members of Parliament, human rights lawyers, representatives of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), and members of various Anglo-Iranian associations discussed recent developments in Iran and urged the UK Government to support the Iranian people’s aspirations for freedom, democracy, and human rights.

Speakers highlighted that Iran stands at a historic crossroads and argued the UK should seize this moment to support those aspirations and end executions.

A meeting in Parliament today highlighted escalating political executions in Iran and new directives from judiciary chief instructing the judicial system to take a “war posture” and accelerate death sentences.

Cross‑party MPs and Peers, representatives of the Anglo‑Iranian Associations, and representatives of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) attended and addressed the meeting.

Speakers emphasised that these executions aim to prevent future uprisings and to suppress growing organised resistance following the NCRI’s announcement of a Provisional Government to transfer sovereignty to the people and establish a democratic republic based on Maryam Rajavi’s Ten‑Point Plan.
