Writing for the PoliticsHome website, MP for Liverpool Riverside Louise Ellman highlights Iran’s “government sponsored campaign against the Baha’I community including arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, harassment of schoolchildren and the denial of access to higher education, jobs and business licenses…It is vital that Members of Parliament highlight the lack of political freedoms in Iran and the millions who have faced persecution as a result. These abuses need to be bought to the forefront of popular consciousness. International organisations must put pressure on the Iranian authorities and hopefully bring about real change.”
