Continuing Detention Of BahÁ'Í Leaders In Iran
Lembit Opik
2010-01-06
That this House notes the continuing apparent intention of the Iranian authorities to place seven leaders of the Bahá'í community on trial; further notes the appearance in various Iranian government-affiliated news agencies wrongly alleging that the Bahá'ís faith is among the groups formenting civil unrest in Iran; fears this unfounded claim may nevertheless be used as a reason to take measures against these seven individuals; further notes reports of arrests and intimidation of other members of the Bahá'í community in Iran; and calls on the UK Government to approach the Iranian authorities to request the cancellation of the trial, and to seek assurances that any trial of Bahá'ís is always conducted in public, following the basic tenets of justice and fair trial.
