<p>The UK will fully engage in the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Iran’s human
rights record, which is due to be considered by the Human Rights Council on 31 October
2014. As at the last UPR, the UK will make a statement and table recommendations on
how Iran could improve its approach to human rights. This will include minority religious
rights - the UK has repeatedly expressed concern at the persecution of the Baha’i
community in Iran, and we will continue to encourage Iran to ensure all its citizens
are able to exercise their right to freedom of religion, free from persecution and
harassment.</p>
