BAHA'I CEMETERY IN SHIRAZ

Early day motion 333, tabled 10 September 2014 by Hywel Williams (Plaid Cymru). Signed by 23 members.

That this House notes the joint press release of 4 September 2014 from three United Nations special rapporteurs calling on the Iranian government to bring an immediate halt to the destruction of a Baha'i cemetery in the city of Shiraz; believes that the desecration of Baha’i graves constitutes an unacceptable violation of freedom of religion; and urges the Government to intercede with Iranian officials and press them to take immediate action to effect a full cessation of the demolition of this Baha'i cemetery.
