British MPs urge the UK Government to act urgently for the release of arrested students in Iran<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Members of the United Kingdom<\/span>\u2019s House of Commons and House of Lords, members of the British Committee for Iran Freedom (BCFIF)\u00a0<\/span>in a\u00a0<\/span>press release<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on Thursday,\u00a0<\/span>condemned the Iranian regime\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>arresting elite students<\/span><\/a>\u00a0Ali\u00a0<\/span>Younesi<\/span>\u00a0and Amir Hossain Moradi, particularly amid the coronavirus<\/span>\u00a0outbreak, and urged the UK government to mount international pressure on mullahs\u2019 regime to release these prisoners.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amir Hossein Moradi disappeared on April 10, and Ali\u00a0<\/span>Younesi<\/span>\u00a0was brought home in the evening of the same day, with injuries and torture marks. Ali won the gold medal of the 12th International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics, held in China in 2018. Earlier, he had won the silver and gold medals of the National Astronomy Olympiad in 2016 and 2017. Amir Hossein also won the Olympiad silver medal in 2017.<\/span>\u00a0The MEK\u00a0<\/a><\/span>ha<\/span>s\u00a0<\/span>also released names of another\u00a0<\/span>18 people<\/span><\/a>\u00a0arrested by the mullahs\u2019 regime in secret. The Iranian Resistance has urged the international community to\u00a0<\/span>intervene and<\/span>\u00a0prevent\u00a0<\/span>these prisoners from being tortured and possibly executed by the regime.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The full text\u00a0<\/span>of the BCFIF is as follows:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The British Committee for Iran Freedom (BCFIF) condemns Iran\u2019s regime for intensifying its domestic repression by stepping up crackdown on dissenting voices and unleashing a new wave of executions instead of helping the Iranian people during the devastating coronavirus pandemic in the country.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During a press briefing on 5 May, a spokesperson for Iran\u2019s Judiciary acknowledged the arrest of two renowned Iranian students. The spokesperson also alleged that the arrested students were in contact with the\u00a0<\/span>organised<\/span>\u00a0Iranian opposition, the People\u2019s Mojahedin\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Organisation<\/span>\u00a0of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/span><\/a>) and<\/span>\u00a0accused them of inciting violence.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The announcement comes as the regime carried out several executions last week including the execution of two juvenile offenders, which the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ms<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0Michelle Bachelet, condemned as a\u00a0<\/span>clear violations of International Human Rights law<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the same day, the PMOI\/MEK<\/a> publicly announced the name of another 18 individuals who have been arrested by the regime following the crackdown in response last year\u2019s anti-regime protests across the country.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The arrested students who were subjected to abuse and torture are identified as Amir Hossein Moradi and Ali\u00a0<\/span>Younesi<\/span>. According to the reports, they were distinguished students\u00a0of\u00a0Tehran\u2019s Sharif University of Technology with international awards in their fields.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a normal nation, these two students would have been an important part of the future. But in Iran under the current theocratic regime, they are persecuted and arrested for dreaming about a better and more prosperous future.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These 20 individuals are now at risk of torture, harsh prison sentences and even executions like the many thousands who were arrested during the intensified crackdown in recent months and last year\u2019s anti-regime protests.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We should not forget that the current chief of Iran\u2019s Judiciary, Ebrahim\u00a0<\/span>Raisi<\/span>, is known for his role in carrying out and overseeing the massacre of 30, 000 political prisoners in Iran in 1988 targeting primarily the supporters and members of the PMOI\/MEK<\/a> inside the country and Iranian prisons.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The international community cannot and should not allow the regime to use the coronavirus crisis in the world as a cover to repeat this crime against humanity.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The British Committee for Iran Freedom (BCFIF) believes that the FCO should immediately summon Teheran\u2019s ambassador to the UK to protest\u00a0<\/span>these alarming developments<\/span>\u00a0in Iran and warn the regime about the serious consequences of continued mass arrests and executions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The BCFIF calls on the FCO to identify those Iranian officials and leaders responsible for this brutal crackdown including the killing of at least 1500 protesters in November last year and add their names to the UK\u2019s human rights sanction list, as part of its declared\u00a0<\/span>commitment<\/span>\u00a0to hold Iran\u2019s regime to account for its human rights abuses<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The BCFIF also backs the call by the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)<\/a>, Mrs<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, and urges the UK Government to put pressure on the regime in Iran to immediately release Amir Hossein Moradi and Ali\u00a0<\/span>Younesi<\/span>\u00a0together with all other prisoners and detained activists.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Furthermore, as recommended by cross-party MPs at our conference discussing the situation in Iran on 25 February this year, the BCFIF urges the UK Government to work with allies at the UN to demand the UN Secretary General and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights dispatch an international fact-finding mission to Iran to visit Iranian prisons and meet with prisoners, including those arrested in recent crackdown.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
