Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 July 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Global Security (Iran).
Global Security (Iran)
I congratulate the Select Committee Chairman on his observations so far. Does he agree that Iran is in breach of the UN convention on human rights, of which it is a signatory? Yesterday, we had a good debate on the plight of Baha'is and others who have sadly been persecuted in Iran, particularly in recent months. Does he agree that such desperate persecution contradicts the spirit and character of the Iranian people?
