The petition of residents of the United Kingdom,
Declares that the protests and anti-regime uprisings in Iran led by women and youth are incredibly powerful and have spread across the country; notes that the signatories support the effort to help bring democracy to Iran; furthermore that at least 700 protestors have been killed and another 30,000 have been arrested in the first two weeks of the uprising and that this is an injustice to the people of Iran and their human rights; further declares that more support to Iranian protestors is required.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to support the Iranian people’s uprising and their desire for democracy.
And the petitioners remain, etc.
