The UK has repeatedly expressed concern at the treatment of the Baha’i community in Iran. I met a representative of the Baha'i community on 10 February to discuss the community's concerns. The UK’s non-resident Chargé d’Affaires to Iran discussed the matter with the Iranian authorities during his last visit to Iran on 17 February.
