Motion text
That this House condemns the new and brutal wave of widespread repression that the Iranian Islamic Republic has initiated following the 12-day Iran-Israel war; is alarmed that the regime has intensified arrests, executions and escalated the systemic violence used to suppress social and political opposition, especially targeting workers, women, and those seeking freedom in Iran; is further alarmed that the death penalty has seen a horrifying surge in the months following the war with over 1,000 people being executed thus far in 2025, marking the highest number of yearly capital punishments in decades with political prisoners and ethnic minorities being disproportionately targeted without fair trials; expresses solidarity with the No to Execution Tuesdays campaign, launched by political prisoners, which has entered its 93rd consecutive week, uniting prisoners across 54 prisons in protest against the rising number of executions; and urges the UK Government to put pressure on the government in the region to call for an immediate halt to all executions and the abolition of the death penalty and the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners in Iran.
