Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Iran (Human Rights).
Iran (Human Rights)
I congratulate the hon. Member for Liverpool, Riverside (Mrs Ellman) on bringing the matter to the House today. One of the repercussions of the issue being discussed relates to employment and the owning of property. It is not just about being hit for worshipping God in church; there are repercussions beyond that. Does the hon. Gentleman know whether the Government have made any representations to the Iranian authorities to reduce and minimise the threats to Christian people?
