Proceeding contribution from Margaret Ferrier (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 January 2023. It occurred during Backbench debate on Iran.


Iran

According to Amnesty International, among the hundreds killed are at least 44 children who died after live ammunition was fired at their heads, hearts and other vital organs. That is unimaginable on many levels. I know the hon. Gentleman will share my deep concern about children being wounded or killed as a result of the political unrest. Does he agree that a UN fact-finding mission must be operationalised urgently?
