<p>Iran's human rights record continues to be of serious concern to the UK, and the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office has designated it as one of its Human Rights Priority
Countries. We regularly raise the treatment of religious and ethnic minorities in
Iran with the Iranian Government, and we continue to take action with the international
community to press Iran to improve its poor record on all human rights issues. At
the UN General Assembly in September, we brought the international community together
at a UK-hosted event to shine a spotlight on Iran's human rights abuses. We will also
be using Iran's forthcoming Universal Periodic Review in November, to raise concerns
about the ongoing discrimination and targeting of religious minority groups, including
the Christian community.</p>
