Debate on Iran - UK Parliament

November 24, 2004
An Early Day Motion raised by veteran anti-war MP, Alice Mahon, urges the British government `to resist any attempts at escalation or departure from dialogue and multilateral diplomacy`.

On Wednesday 24 November, a debate on Iran raised by former Conservative Minister Sir Teddy Taylor Wednesday called on the government to make a clear statement of the UK`s position.

Sir Teddy Taylor was in the delegation which visited Ebrahim Khodabandeh, Jamil Bassam and several other MKO prisoners in Evin prison this June.

Ebrahim Khodabandeh recently wrote a critical letter to Massoud Rajavi, head of the MKO-NCRI-NLA challenging him to answer basic questions about his strategy over the past twenty-five years.

A copy of his letter was forwarded to each of the people who visited him in Evin.
