Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether human rights abuses in Iran and that country’s support for terror groups have been discussed as part of the nuclear negotiations between the P5+1 and Iran.

EU 3 (France, Germany and the United Kingdom) +3 (China, Russia, and the United States), nuclear talks with Iran have focused exclusively on the nuclear issue. However, Iran’s poor human rights record and links to proxy groups outside its borders remain causes of serious concern. We raise these issues publicly, in multilateral fora and in our bilateral contacts with Iran.
