<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. The continued restrictions on freedoms of expression, religion and belief
are deeply worrying. While some religious minorities are formally protected in the
constitution, the reality is that many non-Muslims face discrimination. Despite constitutional
recognition, the persecution of Christians has been continuous, systemic, and institutionalised.
The Foreign Secretary ordered a review into the plight of persecuted Christians around
the world. The interim report has been published and reviews the situation of Christian
communities in Iran.</p>
