PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
One-year anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini (11 September 2023)

That this House marks the one-year anniversary of the horrific death of Mahsa Amini at the hands of Iranian authorities; remembers the hundreds of protesters who have been killed or executed in the protests following Mahsa’s death; recognises the ongoing struggle of Iranian protesters and condemns the use of excessive force, violence, arbitrary arrests and execution by Iranian authorities to curtail protests and freedom of expression; expresses further concern at the reports of increasing arrests of activists in the weeks leading up to the anniversary of Mahsa’s death; supports the case for proscription of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organisation; and calls for the street the Iranian Embassy sits on to be re-named ‘Mahsa Amini Avenue’ in tribute to the young woman who inspired so many and as a symbol of the UK’s solidarity with the Iranian people.
