BahÁ'Í Community In Iran (EDM1712)

BahÁ'Í Community In Iran

EDM number 1712 in 2010-12, proposed by Robert Halfon on 04/04/2011.
Categorised under the topic of Iran.

That this House notes that the Bah's are Iran's largest religious minority, with over 300,000 believers, who have for 30 years suffered a state-sponsored campaign of persecution; further notes that under the Iranian regime hundreds of Bah's have been executed, thousands tortured and imprisoned and the rest denied homes, livelihoods or educations; therefore calls on Iran to release the seven Bah' leaders, who have suffered nearly three years of unjust incarceration and a sham trial with a lack of due process; further calls on Iran to safeguard the rights of all its Bah' citizens; and finally calls on the Government to continue to fight against the human rights violations of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
