Speaking in the House of Lords on 12 January 2026

Debate

Iran: Protests

Contribution

My Lords, we saw the appalling pictures of the security guards displaying the bodies thanks to the work of very brave Iranians getting the message out before all the social media was locked down. Does the Minister agree that social media has shown its importance in the first two weeks of these protests? Would she congratulate Elon Musk on being able to get Starlink into Iran so that some opportunity will be given for Iranians to get their message out?
