What is happening <\/span>at the moment inside Iran is evil, and all that it takes for evil to prevail is for good men and women to stay silent. Well, I know I speak for all of you here today in saying we will not stay silent about what is going on in Iran and we are not staying silent in the UK parliament.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I hope that today we will send a clear message to the Iranian regime that we will not be bowed by their threats. The more they <\/span>attempt to influence our governments and curtail our right to free speech, and our right to freedom of assembly, the more we will fight back.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While some governments today <\/span>attempt to appease the Iranian regime in the UK, we believe the world must hear the truth. Young men and women were massacred, protesters were arrested and raped, and bodies returned to families with such horrific injuries the murders are unrecognizable. The crimes are so horrific that it sickens us to hear them read out loud. The images are so shocking that we try to wipe them from our memory. But that is the regime we are facing, and that is the regime some governments are intent on appeasing.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
