answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2014 answer text Iran has an appalling record when it comes to freedom of expression, and has more journalists in prison than almost any other country. The majority of newspapers in Iran are now government controlled, and journalists and bloggers are routinely monitored, harassed, and detained. We urge Iran to allow freedom of expression, and respect the rights of all its citizens in line with its international obligations. We most recently raised our concerns around freedom of expression during Iran’s Universal Periodic Review at the UN Human Rights Council on 31 October. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 19/11/2014 14:33:28 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
