Relentless persecution of the Baha'is in Iran

Despite its other problems Iran continues its totally unjust persecution of the peaceful Baha'i community, the largest religious minority in the country. According to the Baha'i News Service:

“The Baha’i International Community is alarmed by the recent wave of persecution against the Baha’i community in Iran and calls upon the international community to shine a spotlight on these issues, which represent a major further deterioration”, says Bani Dugal, Principal Representative of the BIC.

Iranian authorities are preventing Baha’is across the country from obtaining national identification cards, while a series of home raids, confiscations, arrests, and attacks on properties have unjustly targeted Baha’is.
