Release Of Iranian Christians

EDM number 271 in 2013-14, proposed by Gregory Campbell on 18/06/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Iran and Religion and faith communities.

That this House notes the election in Iran of Hassan Rouhani as President; further notes that his election is being claimed as a victory for moderation; and calls on the Government to open discussions immediately with the new President to ensure that prisoners of conscience in Iran including the imprisoned Pastor Saeed Abedini who has been held in prison since September 2012 on a 'crime' of promoting Christianity through house churches and sentenced to eight years, can be released with immediate effect.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
