<p>Promoting the right to freedom of religion or belief for all is one of the UK's
longstanding human rights priorities. Addressing reports of expropriation and repossession
of land owned by Baha'i communities in Ivel remains important to HMG. The Baha'i community
in Iran continue to be systematically discriminated against, harassed, and targeted.</p><p>We
repeatedly raise human rights issues with the Iranian Government at all appropriate
opportunities and we continue to take action with the international community to press
Iran to improve its poor record. In November 2021, we co-sponsored the annual UN Third
Committee resolution on human rights in Iran which called on the Government of Iran
to release all religious practitioners imprisoned for their membership in or activities
on behalf of a recognized or unrecognized minority religious or belief group.</p>
