We are concerned by the report from Christian Solidarity Worldwide about the arrest and interrogation of eight Christians on 5 March 2014; and by the treatment of religious minorities in Iran, in particular Christian groups and the Baha'i. We have expressed these concerns to the Iranian authorities, and call on them to release anyone detained on the grounds of religious belief, and to ensure that the fundamental rights of all Iranian citizens are fully respected.
What assessment do Ministers make of reports that Iran is stepping up its already considerable military assistance to the Syrian regime ?
What assessment do Ministers make of reports that Iran is stepping up its already considerable military assistance to the Syrian regime ?
The simple answer is that those reports are almost certainly credible. One of the most damaging aspects of the conflict in Syria is the help given by both Iran and Hezbollah to the regime forces. That will need to stop before there can be any peace in that country.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he is taking to ensure continued enforcement of economic sanctions against Iran during the six months interim agreement period in respect of that country's nuclear programme.
The interim agreement provides for limited, specific sanctions relief proportionate with Iran's undertakings on its nuclear programme. The bulk of EU (and US) sanctions remain in place and will continue to be enforced, including through revised designations where required. EU Regulation 267/2012 and its amendments set out the relevant obligations of member states for the implementation of sanctions. The UK will continue to work with our European partners to fulfil these obligations, including through investigation and, where appropriate, prosecution of sanctions breaches.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has had with his counterparts in (a) Israel and (b) the Gulf States on Iran's nuclear programme.
Ministers and FCO officials regularly engage their Gulf and Israeli counterparts on Iran. Our priority remains a comprehensive, negotiated solution to the Iranian nuclear issue, which would be a significant contribution to peace and security in the Middle East.

The imprisonment by the Iranian authorities of these individuals for their beliefs is deplorable. Reports indicate that three of them were released on bail on 19 March and are currently awaiting trial. The plight of the remaining individuals is unclear. I have repeatedly and publicly expressed the UK's serious concern at the persecution of religious minorities in Iran, including the unjustified arrest and imprisonment of Christians. On 14 May, after formally receiving an interfaith letter on religious persecution in Iran, I issued a statement calling once again for Iran to end such persecution and release all those imprisoned on the basis of their faith.

The sentencing of Pastor Abedini and his continuing imprisonment on the basis of his religion are deplorable.

On 14 May, after formally receiving an interfaith letter on religious persecution in Iran, I issued a statement calling once again for Iran to end such persecution and release all those imprisoned on the basis of their faith.
