HC Deb 30 November 1988 vol 142 cc313-4W
Mr. Corbyn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations have been made to the Government of Iran concerning the recent spate of executions of political prisoners.

Mr. Waldegrave

The reports of executions are a matter of concern to the Government. We have consistently condemned such violations of human rights in Iran. We look to the Iranian authorities to co-operate with the United Nations special representative so that he can investigate these and other allegations of human rights abuses.
