Cut diplomatic ties with Iran in support of current nationwide uprisings

Closed 6,848 signatures

What the petition asks

We request that the UK Government cut its diplomatic ties with the Islamic Republic of Iran and call back the British ambassador, in support of the Iranian people who have come out in protest in recent weeks.
Protestors are chanting 'Woman, life, freedom' in hope for social and political freedom and a truly democratic government like what we have in the UK and other western countries. This is our humanitarian duty to support them by all means possible, and to help stop innocent men, women and children being killed in Iran.
