That this House notes the ongoing trial of Fariba Kamalabadi, Jamaloddin Khanjani, Afif Naeimi, Saeid Rezaie, Mahvash Sabet, Behrouz Tavakkoli and Vahid Tizfahm, seven Bahá'í leaders in Iran; observes that as of 14 May 2010 they have entered a third year of incarceration in deplorable conditions in cells without beds or bedding; expresses grave concern at the disregard for due process since their arrest and the absence of any evidence presented against them to date; and calls on the Government to protest to the Iranian government at their ongoing detention and to call for their immediate release.
