MP Martyn Day, SNP Spokesperson for Health in the UK House of Commons, delivered a speech during a conference held<\/a> at the United Kingdom’s Parliament on September 12, in support of the Iranian people’s uprising on its first anniversary.<\/p>\n He expressed his concerns about the oppressive nature of the Iranian regime, both domestically and internationally, highlighting the need for regime change in Iran.<\/p>\n Mr. Day emphasized the importance of proscribing the IRGC, imposing sanctions on those associated with it, and providing support to the people on the ground. He commended the role of young people and women in leading the struggle for a more open, secular democracy in Iran.<\/p>\n The text of MP Martyn Day\u2019s speech follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n Thank you, it’s always a privilege to come along and hear the personal testimony at these events. I hope that we don’t have to continue doing it for much longer because we need the change.<\/p>\n As a democratic politician, I’m always very wary of calling for regime change in other nations because I think they have to solve their own issues, but I can make an exception with regards to Iran for several obvious reasons.<\/p>\n Firstly, the totally oppressive undemocratic nature that it operates against its own people, but also the inhumane and undemocratic nature that it acts across the international stage and its threat to world democracy.<\/p>\n So I think we have to see that regime change and coming fast. I believe there’s a lot more that our country should do. I don’t think we can negotiate with them. I think that is beyond any acceptable form.<\/p>\n .@MartynDaySNP<\/a>: "I think we have to see regime change in #Iran<\/a> and it's coming fast.
