The British Embassy in Baku regularly observes criminal trials in such cases and raises freedom of religion with officials from the Government of Azerbaijan. The British Embassy also held an event to mark International Religious Freedom Day on 27 October 2017 to raise awareness of this issue.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 22/01/2018 16:24:09 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
