Cllr Monica Hamidi

Iran is not the Islamic Republic. Iran’s civilian infrastructure belongs to the Iranian people and to the future of a free Iran. The Islamic Republic’s infrastructure is the machinery of repression and terror used to keep that future from becoming reality. Iran must be protected. The regime must be dismantled. I ask President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu to continue targeting the regime and its apparatus of repression, while sparing the civilian infrastructure Iranians will need to rebuild our country. With the support of the US and Israel, and above all the sacrifice of Iranian patriots, the hour of Iran’s freedom is at hand. Long live Iran!

Nowruz marks the arrival of spring, a season of renewal and hope. In these challenging times, I wish all those celebrating Nowruz well in London and across the world.

To all celebrating this evening. May the new year bring renewed hope, strength and the promise of a brighter future for the Iranian people. Woman. Life. Freedom. #Nowruz 🥚

Sending best wishes for the Nowruz holiday and a Happy Persian New Year to all Iranian friends. Sending solidarity as well, and hoping you are able to realise your freedom sooner rather than later. #nowruz

Happy #Nowruz to all celebrating #PersianNewYear. As spring begins, we stand with the people of Iran 🇮🇷 and their extraordinary courage. Nowruz is more than a celebration. It’s identity, resistance, and hope. A free Iran no longer feels distant, but within reach. #FreeIran‌

5 years ago, one of my first acts as Leader was to meet with campaigners at Warren Farm and pledge to secure the best of both worlds. 🏏Sport & Nature 🌱 With some tough and direct negotiations, we’re finally there. Ealing Labour has delivered. aroundealing.com/news/warren-fa…

I have approved the Metropolitan Police’s request to ban the Al Quds march. I am satisfied doing so is necessary to prevent serious public disorder, due to the scale of the protest and multiple counter-protests, in the context of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Should a stationary demonstration proceed, the police will be able to apply strict conditions. I expect to see the full force of the law applied to anyone spreading hatred and division instead of exercising their right to peaceful protest.

Fair play to @VMO2News for waiving charges on calls, texts and data between the UK and several Middle Eastern countries so people can stay connected with loved ones. A thoughtful move at a difficult time.

Zack Polanski votes against motion welcoming removal of ayatollah #Echobox=1772740183" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/uk/london/arti…

Believe us when we keep telling you: the regime wants to kill everyone in Iran. It’s a scorched earth policy. If they don’t make it out alive, no one does. #IranMassacre #IranIsraelWar

Nothing is proved yet Zack. The fact that you are spreading misinformation is appalling for someone in your position. To date no one has been allowed to see any evidence of casualties or even the site itself. The regime says it’s America or Israel. The Americans say they were nowhere near the area. Here’s what Iranians inside Iran say: IRGC blew it up themselves to fill it up with dead bodies of children they’ve kept on ice hidden away in cold storage from the January slaughters to put on display in order to blame their aggressors. The fact that we have not seen the evidence yet is a red flag as we know the regime would have gleefully paraded those images on television and all over the internet. Most probably they were caught on film transferring the bodies hence why there is now a media black out on this story, as well as a full internet blackout. As Iranians we know how this regime operates. We’re talking about new levels of evil. So any narrative like the one you are pushing Zack actually supports the regime in their “don’t care how many die as long as we stay in power” quest. For the love of God and humanity, please stop. #IranMassacre #IranIsraelWar
