answer text <p>On 14 October the Government launched a public consultation on proposals to strengthen controls on offensive and dangerous weapons, including the prohibition of two types of firearm which we feel present a risk to public safety: .50 calibre ‘materiel destruction’ rifles and rapid fire rifles, such as the VZ58 Manually Actuated Release System (MARS) rifle.</p><p>The consultation closes on 9 December. An Impact Assessment has been published alongside the consultation paper and is available to view on GOV.UK. The consultation seeks views on the proposals, including the impact on the owners of these weapons.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We welcome the swift and widespread condemnation by the Nigerian Government of calls for Igbo residents to be evicted from parts of Northern Nigeria. We welcome in particular the swift condemnation by the Governors of the Northern states and then Acting President Osinbajo. During my visit to Nigeria in June I discussed community tensions in Nigeria with the Governor of Kaduna. We echo President Buhari's recent call for calm and reconciliation between the many ethnic groups and communities that make up and contribute to the strength and diversity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.</p><p>I welcome the fact that the Northern Nigerian Youth Groups have subsequently rescinded their call for Igbos to be evicted. We continue to monitor the situation closely, and will work with the Nigerian Government to help tackle threats to Nigeria's security and address the underlying causes of instability.</p> more like this

answer text <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> more like this

answer text <p>​The UK has made several interventions at the UN on human rights in Iran. At the Human Rights Council in March 2017, the UK strongly supported the renewal of the mandate of the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran. The UK also supported the Special Rapporteur's recent report on the status of human rights in Iran during the recent Interactive Dialogue at the General Assembly in New York. In addition, the UK co-sponsors the annual Third Committee Resolution on human rights in Iran.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We are concerned that the Baha'is are being persecuted for their religious beliefs in Yemen, particularly in areas controlled by the Houthis and forces aligned to former President Saleh. We strongly condemn this mistreatment and continue to work closely with our partners including the EU to raise the issue directly with the <em>de facto </em>authorities. The immediate release of all Baha'is in Yemen imprisoned for their religious beliefs was a key demand in the September UN Human Rights Council Resolution, which we supported. We will work closely with all partners to ensure its implementation.</p> more like this

We continue to follow the treatment of the Baha'is in Yemen closely, including through meeting their representatives in the UK and lobbying the relevant authorities; and continue to call on the parties to the conflict for the human rights of all Yemenis to be respected.</p> more like this
