PM hails solidarity over Iran row
Updated on 09 July 2009
Gordon Brown has hailed a "strong" show of solidarity from Barack Obama and other G8 leaders in Britain's row with Iran over a detained embassy employee.
The Prime Minister thanked leaders of the powerful nations after they issued a communique demanding that Tehran allow embassies to exercise their functions "without arbitrary restrictions on or intimidation of their staff".
The G8 - made up of Britain, the US, Germany, France, Italy, Canada, Japan and Russia - also warned Iran that arrests of foreign nationals and journalists were "unacceptable" in the wake of the unrest which followed last month's disputed presidential elections.
