Expel Iranian diplomats, proscribe IRGC, and sever relations with Iran’s regime

Background

We call on the UK Government to expel Iranian regime diplomats from the UK, formally proscribe IRGC as a terrorist organisation, sever diplomatic relations, and apply maximum political and economic pressure to hold the regime accountable for human rights abuses and protect protesters’ lives.

Additional details

Iran’s regime has committed serious human rights violations, including killing and imprisoning peaceful protesters, journalists, and dissidents. Thousands have died during nationwide protests. The IRGC plays a key role in repression, while internet shutdowns are used to conceal violence. We urge the UK to expel regime representatives, proscribe the IRGC, downgrade or sever diplomatic relations, and apply all available pressure to prevent further atrocities and protect civilian lives.
