72 Mr. M. Higgins asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he has made any representations to the Government of Iran concerning the imprisonment of eight Iranian women whose cases have been taken up by Amnesty International.
I am aware of the concern expressed by Amnesty International over several years in regard to the human rights situation in Iran.
We have joined with our partners in the Twelve on a number of occasions in making our concern known to the Iranian authorities. I have not however made specific representations in regard to the particular cases to which the Deputy refers.
