Mr. James Rajotte (Edmonton-Leduc, CPC): 

Mr. Speaker, our brave men and women are fighting in places like Afghanistan in an effort to rid that country of hate and oppression. Tragically, the terrorist attacks in Pakistan last week reminded us that hate still exists in many places.

Iranian Baha’i community

In October 1998, the House gave unanimous consent to a motion that called upon the government of Iran to end its oppression of the Iranian Baha’i community. The government of Iran has not done so. Instead, it is increasing discrimination and other human rights violations against the Baha’is. Not only are the 300,000 members of the Iranian Baha’i community prevented from practising their faith, but its government continues to imprison Baha’is on the basis of their religious beliefs.
