DEATH OF POLITICAL PRISONERS IN IRAN

Early day motion 766, tabled 5 December 2016 by Alan Meale (Labour). Signed by 21 members.

That this House is alarmed by evidence which shows that a mass murder of political prisoners took place in Iran in or about the summer of 1988 and that those killed are buried in mass graves at Khavaran Cemetery and other locations in Iran; and believes the illegal killing of those citizens represents a crime against humanity and action needs to be taken against those responsible.
