The Minister accepted that there are reports in the international press and elsewhere that the number of executions since 1981 in Iran total about 70,000, that there are 140,000 political prisoners there at the moment, that the number has been significantly increased in recent months. There are also very credible reports of mass executions taking place there in the last number of months. In the light of those circumstances would the Minister accept that, as a country committed to human rights, there is a duty on us, both at the Human Rights Commission and at the United Nations to raise our own voice in protest against this total abuse of democracy and human rights?
