Iran: Trials
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make representations to the Iranian authorities on the recent trial of Mrs Fariba Kamalabadi, Mr Jamaloddin Khanjani, Mr Afif Maimi, Mr Saeid Rezaie, Mrs Mahvash Sabet, Mr Behrouz Tavakkoli and Mr Vahid Tizfahm.
- Answer
-
My right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary and I have repeatedly expressed our strong concerns about the flaws in the trial of these seven members of the Baha'i community in Iran, and the harsh sentences handed down. I have raised their cases with the Iranian ambassador, and continue to call on the Government of Iran to review their case urgently, and to ensure that no-one in Iran faces imprisonment simply for practising their faith.
