Summary

Condemns Iran's March 2007 seizure of British sailors and marines, and asks for their immediate return to British custody.

Calls on the United Nations to condemn Iran's holding of these British naval personnel.

Demands that Iran refrain from: (1) denying the British government its right to have contact with these sailors and marines while they are in Iranian custody; and (2) subjecting these sailors and marines to any "show trials" in Iranian courts or to any cruel or inhumane treatment.
