Images of the teenage protesters killed by the regime
Since 16th of September 2022, Iran has seen a public uprising, with demonstrations and protests taking place in more than 250 cities and towns, triggered by the tragic death of Mahsa Amini, 22, who was detained by the so-called morality police in Tehran on 13 September and died, while in custody, three days later.
Having borne the brunt of oppression and discrimination over the past 43 years, people of Iran bravely defy and stand up to the state security and intelligence forces and plainclothes agents.
So far over 750 protesters have been killed with thousands more arrested. In order to regain control the regime has resorted to executions but we can prevent that and save lives.
Supporters' Views
Struan Stevenson, Scottish former MEP, Co-Chair of Friends of a Free Iran:
Could I start by thanking the ILA for all of your fundraising, and all of the work, very important work, that you do on behalf of victims of human rights abuse..
Bishop John Pritchard, former Bishop of Oxford:
I’m really pleased to be able to join you. This was an unexpected pleasure and privilege to come along because you’ve obviously been meeting for some time, thirteen meetings, that’s impressive. So well done for doing that, but more important than that, you know, well done for the tremendous work that ILA is obviously doing for Iran and the Middle East as a whole.
Sir Alan Meale:
I wanted to use the opportunity, actually, to pay tribute to the ILA for the excellent work you actually do. Some of the campaigns you take up are not easy at all, work on stopping executions being outstanding, and the best way to explain that is to remind people that it’s been recognised at the highest level with the United Nations Commission on Human Rights and, of course, Amnesty International itself.
Hon David Jones MP:
First of all, can I thank the ILA, We’re all very well aware of the work that the ILA has done, and I want to thank them too for all they’re doing at the moment to campaign to stop the executions in Iran.
Help end the danger in the middle east, and stop the suffering
