Written Question
Iran
Monday 9th June 2014

Asked by: Paul Uppal (Conservative - Wolverhampton South West)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent representations he has made to his Iranian counterpart about the destruction of an historically important Bahá'í cemetery in Shiraz.

Answered by Hugh Robertson

I was deeply concerned to learn of the destruction of a Baha'i cemetery in Shiraz, where approximately 950 Baha'is are buried. On 14 May 2014, I made a statement on this issue, calling for Iran to abide by its international commitments to ensure all Iranians are free to practice their religion without fear of persecution. This includes protection of religious sites.
