Mr. Speaker, we will always defend human rights and hold Iran to account for its actions.
The focus of any discussion with the Government of Iran will be on ensuring Maryam Mombeini is able to return home, and on demanding answers on the death of her husband, Mr. Seyed-Emami.
Let me be clear that our government is committed to holding Iran to account for its violation of human and democratic rights. This is why we led a resolution to the UN in November, calling on Iran to comply with its international human rights obligations.
We remain deeply concerned with the human rights situation in Iran, but that will be the focus of our discussions.
