ANNIVERSARY OF INCARCERATION OF BAHÁ'Í LEADERS IN IRAN

Motion Text

That this House notes that 14 May 2014 will mark the sixth anniversary of the incarceration of seven former Bahá'í leaders in Iran; further notes that their detention and trial received international condemnation for its lack of due legal process; recalls that the seven appear to have been sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment solely for their activities as members of the Bahá'í community; and calls on the Government to press the Iranian authorities to release all seven immediately and without conditions.
