Motions — Iran—Women’s Rights

Point of order. I seek leave to move a motion without notice and without debate on the treatment of women in Iran.

💬 SPEAKER: Is there any objection to that course of action being taken? There appears to be none.

I move, That this House note the bravery of women and the people of Iran exercising their right to protest for women’s rights and democracy; call for a thorough, independent, and prompt investigation of recent deaths of people in the custody of Iranian authorities, including the Morality Police; and condemn the Iranian authorities’ suppression of protestors and journalists, making clear our view that the use of violence in response to the expression of fundamental human rights by women or any other members of Iranian society is unacceptable.

Motion agreed to.
