<p>The treatment of the Baha'i community in Iran is of particular concern. During
the recent Interactive Dialogue with the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran
at the UN, the UK raised the treatment of religious minorities, including the Baha'i.
The British Government supports the UN Special Rapporteur's assessment that discrimination
against the Baha'i community in Iran is aggravated by a lack of constitutional recognition
and the absence of other legal protections for adherents of this faith. I recently
met with representatives of the Baha'i community to discuss this.</p>
