More than 300 people have died in the Iranian riots which have swept the country since June, MPs were told yesterday.

A report said thousands more had been injured and 10,000 arrested.

Labour peer Lord Corbett said: "If we allow these people to die without being noticed we will lose a huge opportunity for change."

The riots followed claims last month's Iranian elections were rigged.

Protests are continuing in Tehran against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the government.
