Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat), on Wednesday, 6 January 2010, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 54 members in total.
CONTINUING DETENTION OF BAH??'?? LEADERS IN IRAN
That this House notes the continuing apparent intention of the Iranian authorities to place seven leaders of the Bah??'?? community on trial; further notes the appearance in various Iranian government-affiliated news agencies articles wrongly alleging that the Bah??'??s faith is among the groups fomenting civil unrest in Iran; fears this unfounded claim may nevertheless be used as a reason to take measures against these seven individuals; further notes reports of arrests and intimidation of other members of the Bah??'?? community in Iran; and calls on the Government to approach the Iranian authorities to request the cancellation of the trial, and to seek assurances that any trial of Bah??'??s is always conducted in public, following the basic tenets of justice and fair trial.
