Brilliant to have Prof Susan Banki here from the University of Sydney, talking about her work on exile politics!
Text reads: I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.
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.
