<p>We are particularly concerned by the continuing systematic discrimination, harassment
and targeting of the Baha'i community in Iran. At the Human Rights Council in March
2019, the UK strongly supported the renewal of the mandate of the UN Special Rapporteur
on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran and supports the UN Special Rapporteur's
assessment that discrimination against the Baha'i community in Iran is legally sanctioned
by a lack of constitutional recognition and the absence of other legal protections
for adherents of this faith. We have called on Iran to allow him access to the country
so that he can carry out his mandate, and we encourage Iran to use this opportunity
to engage with the international community.</p>
