At a meeting in Parliament on Tuesday, cross-party MPs and Peers called for immediate intervention and stronger accountability measures to stop executions in Iran. They urged urgent international action to save the lives of political prisoners on death row, including 17 at imminent risk for their affiliation with Iran’s democratic opposition, the People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI/MEK).

The British Committee for Iran Freedom (BCFIF) expresses deep concern for the life of political prisoner Mohammad Javad Vafaei-Sani, after Iran’s Supreme Court upheld his death sentence over the weekend.

Members of Parliament met today to mark the third anniversary of Iran’s 2022 nationwide uprising. Lawyers, politicians, members of the Anglo-Iranian community, and representatives of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) also took part in the meeting held in the Parliament.

Speakers highlighted several defining trends since 2022. Daily protests and strikes have continued across Iran, despite the regime’s brutal crackdown and record executions.

The British Committee for Iran Freedom (BCFIF) is deeply concerned by the Iranian authorities’ ongoing efforts to destroy evidence of their atrocities, which UN experts have identified as crimes against humanity, committed with genocidal intent.
