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.
* UPDATE: Abolhassan Montazer and Vahid Bani Amerian were executed in Ghezel Hesar Prison on 4 April 2026.
The British Committee for Iran Freedom (BCFIF) strongly condemns the execution of four members of Iran’s pro-democracy opposition, the People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI), in Ghezel Hesar Prison on 30 and 31 March 2026.
Cross-party MPs and Peers joined members of the Anglo-Iranian Community and representatives of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) to mark the Persian New Year, Nowruz, at the UK Parliament.

Participants celebrated the Iranian people’s courage and determination to bring about democratic change and commemorated those who gave their lives for freedom during the recent uprisings.
