- Call on the UK Government to urgently proscribe the IRGC; support the popular, democratic alternative represented by the NCRI and its President-elect, Mrs Maryam Rajavi’s 10-point plan
At a conference in the UK Parliament today, cross-party Members of Parliament, representatives of the democratic Iranian opposition, the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and various Anglo-Iranian associations marked the one-year anniversary of the popular uprising in Iran.
Massive protests erupted across Iran following the tragic death of Mahsa Amini last year and have continued despite a violent crackdown by authorities, including the killing of 750 protesters and arresting over 30,000 more including children.
Participants commended the resilience and progress of the anti-regime movement as a reflection of the Iranian people’s strong desire and demand for democratic change.

The British Committee for Iran Freedom strongly condemns the Iranian regime’s violence towards political prisoners. In a recent attack on political prisoners held captive in Ward 8 of the notorious Evin prison, prisoners were severely beaten and transferred to Ghezel Hesar Prison. They are now being held separately in appalling conditions and their lives are at serious risk.
