How Should UK Respond?
Panellists:@Offord4Hendon @BobBlackman @DavidJonesMP @amessd_southend @tobyperkinsmp Rt Hon John Spellar MP; Prof Lord Alton of Liverpool; Lord Maginnis of Drumglass; Rep. of NCRI
Chairman Dr.Matthew Offord said in his opening remarks that shooting of #ukrainianplane showed the truth terrorist nature of Mullahs' regime.
Two reason wave of #IranProtests in #Iran showed Iranians are tired of this regime & want Regime Change.
After protests against #Soleimani & malign activities of the regime in ME, showed #Iran ppl want democratic change for #FreeIran. Time has come for the @GOVUK & World Leaders to empower Iranian people & their Resistance Movement to achieve this goal.
#IranProtests
UK Gov must recognize democratic aspiration of #Iran ppl & back the right of Iranians & their resistance movement both #NCRI & #PMOI to replace the regime.
They must recognize &support NCRI in its democratic platform as viable alternative 2 its theocracy in Iran.
UK & EU must realize that Iran problem has an Iranian solution & that is represented by Pro-democracy movement headed by @Maryam_Rajavi &her 10-point plan for future of #Iran.
#FreeIran2020
#Iran people seeking nothing more than the right to have freedom & to leave in peace with neighboring countries.
The demonstrations not only in recent days but also in November was harshly crack down by #IRGC who are responsible for killing 1500 citizens.
@GOVUK must support #IranProtests & make it clear for Iran regime that killing protesters & crack down on peaceful protests will not be tolerated & will have consequences in international accountability.
Recent #IranProtests & elimination of #Soleimani have made a serious blow to the regime & it's strategy of exporting terrorism throughout the region & the wider world to divert tension from the ongoing domestic crises within its own boarders.
@DavidJonesMP
NCRI President @Maryam_Rajavi said several times that clerical regime in #Iran is weak. It's not capable for reform nor can it change it's behavior. It get's embolden by appeasement & only understand firmness & strengths.
That's the reality of current situation
British policy on #Iran should be:
-Work with intl allies 2 support protesters in Iran
-Request UN 2 send fact-finding mission 2 Iran
-Recognize right of Iran ppl 4 regime change & obtain democratic system which @Maryam_Rajavi put forward in her 10-point plan
Khamenei noted important role by Iran opposition in #IranProtests & activities of +1000 units of #PMOI throughout #Iran
UK should work with Intl allies 2 expel IRGC & it's proxy militias from ME & must proscribe IRGC & MOIS as terrorist Organizations.
@DominicRaab
“We expect UK Gov to urgently take necessary actions as permanent member of UNSC to secure fact-finding mission”.
He pointed out that UK can't negotiate with the regime because it has no respect for human life, law & order or diplomatic staff of other countries.
Regime can no longer hide the truth. It is getting so weak to even organise events 4 #Soliemani's death,
People know Soliemani was a mass murderer.
No matter how many get killed or arrested in protests People no longer sit back to allow the regime spread lies.
Recent expulsion of two Iran regime's spies in the name of diplomats from #Albanian for plotting terror operation against Iranian dissidents (MEK / PMOI) in Ashraf 3 to #Iran & similar case of persecution 2 more regime's agents in US are shocking.
Representative of Khamenei said: UK ambassador in Tehran who was illegally arrested during #IranProtests, should have been detained & chopped off into pieces
This is outrages threat proving this regime is a rouge state.
@DominicRaab @HMATehran
As @DavidJonesMP mentioned, while welcoming @DominicRaab for taking a firm policy towards Iran regime,
I will call upon UK Gov to support:
✅#IranProtests
✅Iran people's aspiration for democracy
✅Legitimacy of NCRI
✅@Maryam_Rajavi's 10-Point plan for a #FreeIran
@UN 2 hold Iran regime to account 4 their atrocities incl killing protesters &brutal crackdown on recent #IranProtests as well as #1988massacre of 30K political prisoners in Iran’s prisons by referring them 2 intl tribunal
We are in a time where evil weakened regime is floundering.
Rouhani &khamenei are liers &it's been proved over &over again.
Time of talking appeasement is long gone.
I echo what Madame Rajavi said about late Lord Corbett: “One day,Iran will be free”
“This is a regime responsible for the destabilisation of Iraq, Syria Jemen, and right away the Middle East, resulting in many deaths.”
#Iran
“This is a rogue regime ruling with brutal repression. We should stand in solidarity with & pay tribute to those standing up to the regime and work with the people in the country who protest for a better future and a #FreeIran”.
#IranProtests
It's paramount to designate #IRGC & the regime can't be trusted with regards to nuclear program & has basically abandoned the deal.
#IRGC also killed 1500 protesters &arrested+12000 to end #IranProtests
UK Gov must proscribe IRGC under Foreign Terrorism Act.
I wrote in @Euronews despite some reporting in Western media, Iranians are not rallying behind the regime to mourn a terrorist &killer like #Soleimani . This was proven by #IranProtests erupted after regime admitted IRGC “mistakenly” shot down #ukrainianplane.
Iran people are risking their lives to stand up to the regime, struggle for a better future. Their efforts are being amplified by pro-democracy main opposition movement, PMOI-MEK who had a very pivotal rule in recent #IranProtests by their resistance units.
It's paramount for our Gov to recognise & back #Iran people & #IranProtests for Regime change.
NCRI is there to help achieve this goal by offering a road map in 10-point plan of NCRI President-elect @Maryam_Rajavi, which articulates the core demands of Iranians.
The words of @Maryam_Rajavi don't only inspire us in UK but we know they are inspirational for pple who are living under this regime in #Iran.
We offer our solidarity, strength & thoughts to all those who protests
We also resolve here in UK to put pressure on our Government to insure the international community hears the call for peace, justice & for #Iran people to be able to desire for their own future.
#FreeIran2020 #IranProtests
I've applaud the commitment to secular government given by @Maryam_Rajavi & #NCRI.
I'm confident that before too long the tyranny of Mullahs will be replaced by a true democracy that respects human rights, gender equality & freedom of belief for all.
