British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom
According to its website, the British Parliamentary Committee for Iran Freedom (BPCIF) "has a cross-party membership from both Houses of Parliament. Its membership comprises members of the Parliamentary Select Committees, spokespersons of the main political parties, shadow cabinet ministers, as well as former senior government Ministers."[1] Press releases and statements[2][3][4] from BPCIF and the National Council of Resistance of Iran (the PMOI's main front group) which regularly reference one another and place considerable attention on the PMOI suggest the BPCIF is part of the NCRI's network of lobby groups. Chief among the BPCIF's stated goals is to "do all in its power" to persuade the British government "to end its policy of appeasement with the Iranian regime."[5] The BPCIF's website is registered to Robin Corbett,[6] the BPCIF's Chairman and main representative.
