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 the Government of Iran on the arrest and imprisonment of Kamal Foroughi.

I raised the case of Mr Kamal Foroughi in a phone call with the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister on 21 June. Our ambassador to Iran also regularly raises Mr Foroughi's case with Iranian authorities and will continue to do so.
