That this House expresses grave alarm at the news that Iran's military and intelligence apparatus is identifying and monitoring all of that country's Bahá'i minority, as revealed by a recent statement of the UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion and Belief; registers deepest concern at the mounting threat to the Bahá'i community, who have faced prolonged persecution; and urges the Government to seek immediate guarantees for the safety of the Bahá'is from the Iranian authorities.
