NOW IN THEATERS: Cast Aside the Clouds, from director Mary Darling and co-directors Bre Vader and Felicia Sobhani, is the first feature film to bring the story of the Bahá'ís in Iran to the big screen. But it's no tragedy and it isn't a victims' narrative. Cast Aside the Clouds is a love story, between Leyla, a young Bahá'í woman, and Sassan, a Muslim man navigating Iran's tension between prejudice and progress. And it evokes the love Bahá'ís have for Iran irrespective of 47 years of persecution under the Islamic Republic. The film is at New York's Village Cinema until 4 June, the Lumiere Cinema in Los Angeles from 4-11 June, the Wayfarer Cinema in Chicago from 18-25 June, and in Washington DC at the Angelika from 25 June to 1 July.

Boshra Mostafavi, a pregnant Bahá’í woman from Rafsanjan, southeast Iran, is among dozens of Bahá’ís detained and jailed in recent months, as the Islamic Republic pursues an escalating campaign of brutal persecution against the religious minority.

Boshra and Shakila are among nearly 80 Bahá’ís who have faced detention, arrest, and imprisonment since the February outbreak of conflict, in a widening series of human rights attacks by the authorities in Iran.

More than 400 recent cases of state-sponsored human rights abuses against Bahá’ís across Iran, including arrests and detentions, violent home raids, unlawful property seizures, and obstructions to justice by judicial authorities, have been reported.

Update on the case of Venus Hoseininejad

At 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, 15 January 2026, Ms. Venus Hoseininejad, a young Bahá’í resident of Kerman, was arrested by IRGC Intelligence agents from her workplace. She was subsequently transferred to the IRGC Intelligence Detention Center. An hour later, agents searched her residence, located on the ground floor of her parents’ home. During this search, which involved six male and two female agents, her laptop was confiscated.

Since her arrest, Ms. Hoseininejad has only been able to make brief phone calls every other day with her family, lasting about one or two minutes, in order to inform them of her situation. She remains held at the IRGC Intelligence Detention Centre and has not been transferred to prison where she has also spent some time in solitary confinement.

Despite the family’s persistent efforts and repeated inquiries with judicial and other authorities, they have not received clear information regarding the status of her case.

A forced confession by Ms. Hoseininejad was extracted under pressure from interrogator Ameneh Sadat Zabihpour and broadcast on TV, a confession which was made under coercion and duress.

Continued Detention of Bahá’í Photographer Navid Zarrehbin Irani in Mashhad

It was learned on 10 February 2026 that Navid Zarrehbin Irani, a well-known Bahá’í photographer residing in Mashhad, was arrested by armed Ministry of Intelligence agents at his private residence on Friday, 16 January 2026, and transferred to the detention facility of Mashhad's Intelligence Directorate.

Mr. Zarrehbin, who has previously spoken of his deep attachment to his country— “The feeling I have toward Iran: this is my home, my homeland, and I love it”—has been held in detention since his arrest. His family has received no information regarding his legal case or the conditions of his detention, raising serious concerns about his health and safety.

Mr. Zarrehbin remains in the interrogation stage and has not been granted access to an attorney. He has only been allowed two very brief phone calls, each lasting less than one minute, which have heightened his relatives' anxiety. More than four weeks after his detention, he continues to be held in the intelligence facility and has not been transferred to prison. According to officials handling his case, he has been charged with "actions against national security", but his family is unaware of any further details regarding his case.
