The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what reports she has on the threats to life against Peyvand and Borna Naimi, two members of the Baha'i community in Iran, and if she will make a statement.

Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer

I refer the Hon Member to the answer provided to Question 611 on 19 May, and I would add that we are aware of the reported cases referenced in her question and are monitoring the situation for Baha'is in Iran more widely.
