Proceeding contribution from Mark Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Ashraf (Geneva Convention).
Ashraf (Geneva Convention)
The hon. Gentleman will be aware that, on 28 February, former President Rafsanjani of Iran visited Iraq and met the Iraqi President to make the Iranian's Government's position abundantly clear on the return of the Ashraf people to Iran. As the hon. Member for Ribble Valley (Mr. Evans) said, the Iranian Government certainly have form. A few months ago, Iranian relatives of Ashraf residents attempted to leave Tehran to visit their relatives, and many are still languishing in Evin prison in Tehran, simply for attempting to visit their relatives.
