answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2018 answer text <p>Iran's human rights record continues to be of serious concern to the UK, and the Foreign and Commonwelath Office has designated it as one of its Human Rights Priority Countries. We regularly raise human rights with the Iranians at all levels as I did during my recent visit to Tehran and we continue to take action with the international community to press Iran to improve its poor record on all human rights issues. In January, the previous Foreign Secretary discussed with Foreign Minister Zarif disturbing reports of ill treatment in Iranian prisons of those detained for participating in the recent protests. The Foreign Secretary particularly emphasised that international obligations on human rights should be observed. Additionally, we remain deeply concerned about our dual nationals detained in Iran (some of whom are in Evin prison) and continue to lobby the Iranian Government at the highest levels at every opportunity to request consular access for officials, access to lawyers and appropriate medical care.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 06/09/2018 15:47:28 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
