	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2019 answer text <p>Iran's human rights record continues to be of serious concern to the UK, and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has designated it as one of its Human Rights Priority Countries. We regularly raise the treatment of religious and ethnic minorities in Iran with the Iranian Government, and we continue to take action with the international community to press Iran to improve its poor record on all human rights issues. At the UN General Assembly in September, we brought the international community together at a UK-hosted event to shine a spotlight on Iran's human rights abuses. We will also be using Iran's forthcoming Universal Periodic Review in November, to raise concerns about the ongoing discrimination and targeting of religious minority groups, including the Christian community.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 31/10/2019 16:44:04 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
