Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations he has made to the government of Yemen on the treatment of the Baha'i community in that country.

We have raised our concerns over the treatment of Baha'is with the Government of Yemen and sought to highlight their plight through public diplomacy. We continue to follow the treatment of the Baha'is in Yemen closely, including through meeting their representatives in the UK and lobbying the relevant authorities; and continue to call on the parties to the conflict for the human rights of all Yemenis to be respected.
