Proceeding contribution from Lord Hague of Richmond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 April 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Africa and the Middle East.
Africa and the Middle East
Yes, most certainly—my hon. Friend is quite right to draw attention to that. The Iranian Government now have one of the worst human rights records in the world. They have four times as many journalists in detention as any other country; they have carried out per capita more executions than any other country so far this year; they have imprisoned the two principal opposition leaders; and they have added to all of that with the outrage to which my hon. Friend refers, and we unreservedly condemn it.
