Chris urges Prime Minister to protect Iranian protesters

British Lance Corporal Brodie Gillon was killed by an Iranian ballistic missile in Iraq in 2020. When I arrived as a soldier three months later, our base was attacked eight times by Iranian proxy militias. The Iranian regime has gunned down tens of thousands of protesters in recent weeks. The morality of this is complex. I support the Prime Minister’s view in favour of a negotiated settlement, given the risks of regime change, but it must include protections against retaliation for protesters. The Prime Minister agreed.
