HC Deb 09 March 1983 vol 38 c432W
37. Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made in the European Community or other forum for joint representations concerning the mass killing and torturing by the Iranian régime within that country.

Mr. Hurd

On 3 March our delegation at the United Nations Commission on Human Rights co-sponsored a draft resolution urging the Government of Iran to respect the human rights of all individuals within its jurisdiction. The European Ten have also decided to make a further approach to the Iranian authorities about persecution of the Baha' is.
