The Bahá'í prisoners of the Islamic Republic of Iran

In my book I described many instances of the persecution of the early Iranian Bahá'ís. Unfortunately the persecution of the Bahá'ís of Iran has continued to the present time.

Since the Islamic Revolution of 1979, many Bahá'ís were imprisoned, their properties confiscated, and over two hundred were killed for their belief. They are excluded from higher education, their pension plans are denied, etc.

Now more than 30 Bahá'ís are in prison in Iran. For several months, seven members of the Bahá'í Community of Tehran have been imprisoned and now facing the death penalty on trumped up charges of being Israel’s spies and enemies of Islam. All peace loving people of the world are asked to write and express their support for the Bahá'ís of Iran.

For more information see the Bahá'í World News Service or CNN.
