Motion Text

That this House welcomes the launch of the Iran: Smash the Sanctions campaign; notes that sanctions restrict the Iranian people's access to medical supplies, immunisations, information and educational resources as well as many other essentials of daily life; believes that they are not benign smart sanctions that only target the leading figures in the regime, and therefore opposes the sanctions; and calls on the Government to work for an end to these punitive measures that bring so much harm and social dislocation to the ordinary people of Iran.
