Two days ago, up to 200 Iranian agents in Roshankouh, #Iran, destroyed #Bahai homes & seized 20 hectares of property. The Iranian Baha'i community has been systematically persecuted since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

This is fantastic! ❤️
The final test extraction of System 002, and the moment we knew that cleaning the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is possible.
Great news from @TheOceanCleanup
Thanks for never giving up @BoyanSlat
Imagine. One day, they show up in your village and destroy your home because of your religion.
This is how Bahai's in Iran live. Their religion is forbidden. They're openly discriminated against. Their children are barred from universities. Their homes are routinely destroyed
