Live internet conference discussing the #coronavirus crisis in #Iran and the regime's growing concerns of social protests.

British MP David Jones:
-The only thing #Iran's regime cares about is holding onto power at the cost of the Iranian people. They have rejected all humanitarian aid, but are demanding $5 bn from the IMF. This will undoubtedly be invested in foreign terrorism & domestic crackdown.
Former German Bundestag member Otto Bernhardt:
-#Iran's regime kicked out Doctors Without Borders. Ordinary people are helping out each other, not the regime. The regime has billions in bank accounts, so there is no need for a sanctions lift or an IMF loan.
British MP Toby Perkins
-The regime in #Iran is not providing for the people & is using the #coronavirus crisis to cause misery to the people. In two cities regime forces demolished houses built by deprived people with their own means. And they seek int'l loans to fuel terrorism.
Dowlat Norouzi, Iranian opposition rep. in the UK
-Countries far poorer than #Iran have had a far lower #coronavirus death toll. More than 30,000 have died of COVID-19 & there are more than 1 million cases across the country.
British MP Bob Blackman
-#Iran's sinister campaign of abusing the #coronavirus crisis to have sanctions lifted is full of lies. Lifting sanctions will not help the Iranian people. Instead, the regime will further its domestic crackdown & terrorism abroad. The IRGC will benefit.
German Bundestag Member Martin Patzelt
The novel #coronavirus has reached almost all of #Iran's prisons. Eight prisons have witnessed riots. A political prisoner who fled recently was arrested & executed immediately without trial. All prisoners should be released.
Former MEP Sir Alan Meale
-#Iran's collective death rate is almost equal to all of northern Europe.
-While being a very rich country, Iran's own figures show 59 million are living in poverty.
-This is a barbaric regime. Enough is enough. We have to help the people of Iran.
