George Howarth – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by George Howarth on 2016-05-24.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he will make representations to the government of Iran on the imprisonment in 2008 of seven Bahá’ í leaders in that country.

Mr Tobias Ellwood

The UK regularly raises our concerns at the treatment of the Baha’i community in Iran. We call on the Iranian Government to end all persecution of individuals on the basis of their faith and to fulfil its international and domestic obligations to allow freedom of religion to all Iranians.
