That this House requests the immediate release of Pastor Abedini and other Christians, Behnam Irani, Maryam Naseem, Naghash-Zargaran, Ebrahim Firouzi and Ata Babaei, detained in Iran for no reason other than the peaceful exercise of their Christian faith; expresses concern that seven Baha'i leaders, Mrs Fariba Kamalabadi, Mr Jamaloddin Khanjani, Mr Afif Naeimi, Mr Saeid Rezaie, Mrs Mahvash Sabet, Mr Behrouz Tavakkoli and Mr Vahid Tizfahm were sentenced in 2008; and calls for Iran to be obliged to adhere to Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which guarantees freedom of religion and belief for everyone.
