On 16 September 2025, British parliamentarians, peers, legal experts, and members of the Anglo-Iranian community gathered at Westminster to mark the 3rd anniversary of Iran’s 2022 nationwide uprising. The event, hosted by cross-party MPs, reaffirmed support for the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan for a free, democratic, secular, and non-nuclear republic. Attendees paid tribute to the thousands killed during the protests and to the ongoing courage of political prisoners inside Iran.

The British Committee for Iran Freedom has issued an urgent appeal following alarming reports that five political prisoners in Iran have been transferred to the notorious Qezelhessar Prison, raising fears of imminent execution. This development underscores growing concerns about the regime’s escalating use of capital punishment to silence dissent and crush organised opposition. The following statement from the BCFIF reads as follows:

London – July 16, 2025 – At the UK Parliament, MPs, Peers, legal experts, and human rights advocates met to address the worsening crisis in Iran and the Middle East. Organised by the British Committee for Iran Freedom, the conference promoted the “Third Option: Regime Change by Iran’s People and Resistance,” rejecting both foreign military intervention and appeasement of the regime. Held shortly after a 12-day conflict that nearly sparked regional war, speakers from across the political spectrum backed the Iranian people’s democratic aspirations and endorsed Mrs Maryam Rajavi’s Ten-Point Plan for a future republic.

14th July 2025 - United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran, Mai Sato, has raised serious concern over the potential “enforced disappearance” of detainees from Tehran’s Evin Prison, including Iranian–Swedish academic Ahmadreza Djalali.

In a post on X on 4 July, Sato said she continues to receive reports of worsening conditions for prisoners transferred from Evin to the Greater Tehran Penitentiary and Qarchak Prison, following Israeli airstrikes.
