We stand with our Iranian members who fought for workers rights, Kurdish autonomy and womens rights in #Iran - that's why they were persecuted and forced to become refugees.
The Iranian people will liberate Iran not Israeli and US violence with UK support.

Check out this comic, part of the MRG's @patnabuco.bsky.social and Rebecca Murray's work with sanctuary scholars!
