Lord Lamont and Richard Bacon MP were confronted by Peter Tatchell and Ahwazi Arab activists from Iran who demostrated and briefly occupied a secret UK-Iran business meeting at the London HQ of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC). Protesters and photographers were violently assaulted by Iranian agents and security staff. The Arabs were subjected to racist abuse by Iranian officials. Ahwazi Arabs from Iran attempted to close down a secret UK-Iran business meeting at the London HQ of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) today in protest at the alleged exploitation of their homeland and anti-Arab oppression by the Tehran government. The meeting, presided over by Lord Lamont with Tory MP Richard Bacon, who heads the All Party Parliamentary Group on Iran, brought together British businesses and Iranian officials as talks over Iran's nuclear programme reach their conclusion. The meeting was arranged by the British Iranian Chambers of Commerce (BICC), which promotes UK-Iran trade and investment. Ahwazi Arabs are said to be a persecuted ethnic minority in Iran. Their homeland contains most of the country's oil and gas wealth, and petrochemicals plants, as well as most of its rivers and a sizeable proportion of its food production. The Ahwazi Arabs are demanding no trade or investment deals, fearing they will exacerbate their existing economic and political marginalisation and a growing ecological catastrophe. Until Ahwazis are allowed full political expression over the future of their land, they consider foreign companies profiting from their homeland's resources as an aggression against them.
