There were actually two meetings on 30/31 March 2009.
The first was a Stop the War Coalition arranged meeting which they called:

Corbyn claims that it was to talk about peace.
However, the event had an alternative title (according to IHRC): 'Solidarity with Palestine after the Gaza onslaught'
'focus on the role of international support for the Palestinian liberation movement [Hamas & Hezbollah]'

Formed in Tehran in 2002 here are the IUPFP's objectives.
