answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2018 answer text <p>We are concerned by reports of the recent comments made about the Baha’i community by representatives of the Houthis. The Government of Yemen does not have any influence over the activities of the Houthis, who overthrew the legitimate Government of Yemen in Sana’a in 2015. We work with our international partners to raise concerns about the situation of the Baha’i community with the Houthis. We urge compliance with the UN Human Rights Council resolution of September 2017 which calls for the release of all Baha’i in detention and end to harassment of the community. We remain closely engaged with representatives of the Baha'i community in the UK. I met their representatives most recently in January, and the Minister for Human Rights held a similar meeting in March.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 01/05/2018 14:52:53 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
