Proceeding contribution from Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Iran (Human Rights).
Iran (Human Rights)
The hon. Gentleman is making a compelling contribution about the distressing persecution of the Christian minority in Iran, as the hon. Member for Liverpool, Riverside (Mrs Ellman) did about the Baha'i. Does he agree that it is bizarre that the Iranian Government claimed to support the Arab spring, when people were demanding democracy, freedom and human rights, while they oppress their citizens and abuse their human rights in the most appalling way, whether on the basis of religion, sexuality or for daring to express a political viewpoint?
