Summary: No Threat In Letter —minister (Press, 30 May 1979)
On 30 May 1979, the New Zealand Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Talboys, addressed concerns regarding a letter sent to the Iranian Prime Minister by the New Zealand National Gay Rights Coalition. The letter, dated 26 March, was suggested by the Iranian government to contain a threat; however, Mr Taiboys firmly stated that it did not contain any such threat. He elaborated that the New Zealand Ambassador in Teheran, Mr C. E. Beeby, had communicated with the Iranian Minister of Justice, Mr Assadollah Mobasheri, to express the New Zealand Government's disapproval of any threats received by the Iranian officials that were supposedly linked to New Zealand. Mr Taiboys emphasised that neither he nor the Ambassador had any knowledge of the origin of the alleged threat within New Zealand.
