Brilliant to have Prof Susan Banki here from the University of Sydney, talking about her work on exile politics!

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.
