Solidarity with the movement, against Western intervention


We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned about the repression of the democracy movement in Iran that has emerged following last summer’s election fall-out, and alarmed at the build-up of US Patriot missiles in the region, plans for further sanctions and renewed calls for foreign interference in Iran's domestic affairs. We thus call for: * The release of political prisoners * Freedom of press, freedom to organise, to demonstrate and to form political parties * The abolishment of executions of political prisoners and activists * An end to all economic and/or political sanctions on Iran * An end to the US military presence in the region, threats of military intervention and acts of aggression from the US and Israel * An end to any attempts of interference in Iran’s domestic political affairs from outside the country * The removal of all nuclear weapons in the region
