IRAN ANTI-SANCTIONS CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 1117, tabled 17 March 2009 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 10 members.

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.

Signatures by party: Labour 8, Independent 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
