Bahá'í International Community - Human Rights

about 2 months ago

In his latest op-ed with Euronews, Nikos Papandreou, Member of the European Parliament, highlights the persecution facing Egypt's Baha'i community: “Their exclusion is not merely social hostility but legal non-existence: they fall outside recognition altogether, and with it outside the ordinary machinery of citizenship.” He continues: "Addressing these challenges does not require radical change. All Egypt needs is to ensure that peaceful religious groups are afforded equal legal rights – reaffirming its own laws and statements." Read the full article here: https://t.co/LvMazU2WFE

Bahá'í International Community - Human Rights

@BahaiBIC_Rights

The #Bahai International Community appeals to #Qatar to stop unjust actions against its Baha'i citizens—starting with the immediate release of Remy Rowhani. Imprisoned on 23 December 2024, Mr. Rowhani became seriously ill in custody and, before fully recovering, was returned to a prison cell instead of being released. Remy Rowhani is a highly respected Qatari citizen who has served his country with distinction for decades—most recently as Director of the International Chamber of Commerce’s Middle East and North Africa regional office. His case highlights decades of systemic discrimination against Baha'is in Qatar. We urge Qatari authorities to ensure Baha'is are no longer discriminated against, blacklisted, or unfairly expelled, practices that contradict Qatar’s commitments to diversity and inclusion. The Baha'i International Community has long been keen to engage in a constructive dialogue with the Qatari authorities to address issues and possible misunderstandings so that the discrimination of Baha'is in Qatar comes to an end. #FreeRemyRowhani #QatarBahaiRights Read our full statement: https://t.co/YhV9lMCuAt @AmiriDiwan @MofaQatar_EN @MBA_AlThani_

The Baha’i International Community is appalled at the baseless and unjust imprisonment of senior #Baha’i dignitary Remy Rowhani at the airport in #Qatar this morning. Remy Rowhani is a respected Qatari citizen and chairperson of the Assembly of the Baha'is of Qatar who served his country with distinction for decades—most recently as Director of the International Chamber of Commerce’s MENA regional office @ICC_Qatar @iccwbo. In April 2021, a Qatari court framed Mr. Rowhani in a prejudicial case judged in absentia. The ruling was confirmed in May 2022 by an appeals court. Qatari officials had indicated Mr Rowhani’s one-month prison sentence and $27,000 fine would not be enforced and that he was free to travel. Today’s actions mark an arbitrary escalation after decades of discrimination against the Baha’is for their religion. Mr Rowhani must be released immediately and the discrimination must be brought to an end.
