Iran Anti-Sanctions Campaign

EDM number 1117 in 2008-09, proposed by John McDonnell on 17/03/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Arms control and Iran.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 10 MPs.
