answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2020 answer text <p>We are aware of reports that Iran's Baha'i community are being prevented from obtaining identity cards under new rules, depriving them of accessing many basic services. We remain concerned about the continued harassment and mistreatment that the Baha'i and other minority religious groups face. We support the UN Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran's assessment that discrimination against the Baha'is in Iran is sanctioned by a lack of constitutional recognition. We regularly call upon Iran to cease harassment of all religious minorities and to fulfil its international and domestic obligations to protect freedom of religion or belief to all Iranians.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 12/03/2020 15:02:58 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
