<p>The treatment of the Baha'i community in Iran is of particular concern. This includes
recent reports of an increased number of Baha'i students being expelled from university,
as well as the denial of access to higher education for adherents of the Baha'i faith,
and reports of students being forced to renounce their faith in order to further their
education. The British Government supports the UN Special Rapporteur's assessment
that discrimination against the Baha'i community in Iran is aggravated by lack of
recognition for the Baha'i faith in the Iranian constitution. We call on Iran to respect
the rights and freedoms of all its citizens no matter what their religion or belief.</p>
