At a meeting in Parliament today, cross-party MPs and Peers, legal experts, and members of the Anglo-Iranian Community, and representatives of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), discussed the human rights crisis in Iran amid the ongoing conflict and warned that the systemic impunity is deteriorating an already alarming situation.

Speakers condemned the increasing executions and use of death penalty, in particular those politically motivated, targeting members of the People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI/MEK) and protesters, a worrying trend documented by the UN Fact-Finding Mission.

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.
