Homeyra Sabetian, a Baha’i from Roshankouh, whose home was destroyed by Iran's government, tells her sad story in a letter to officials.
"You demolished the remains of my house so that there is no trace except a pile of dirt. Are you satisfied now?"

USCIRF Commissioner @RealEU4U: "#Iran’s contempt for basic human rights is evident in its loathsome persecution of Baha’is and use of religiously-grounded laws to restrict freedom of religion or belief." https://t.co/4X1Z1zkkUh
In yet another alarming crackdown, #Iran's authorities have arbitrarily arrested or imprisoned nearly 60 #Bahai in recent weeks, including several elderly leaders of the religious community.
We condemn Iran's relentless persecution of the Baha'i. #FORB

Today at #UNSC the @Brazil_UN_NY :
“We are also concerned about the reports regarding the situation of members of the Baha’i religious community who remain detained in Yemen. We recall the importance of fully respecting the rights of religious minorities.”

Mr. Khanjani, a 90 year old Baha’i man with health issues has been arrested. His arrest added to a new wave of persecution against the Baha’is in Iran in recent weeks, with over 180 incidents of persecution against the community, including over 60 arrests and imprisonments. The cruelty meted out to the Baha’is in Iran has no limits. No human being, bound by even the slightest principles of fairness, would regard it as anything other than a gross miscarriage of justice to imprison, without a shred of evidence, a 90 year old man who has already suffered profound persecution for his faith.” #Iran #ourstoryisone #bahai #HumanRights
"🔴 Urgent Appeal 🔴"
The Houthis' persecution of Baha'is must end. Yemenis, CSOs, NGOs, INGOs, & the Int. community, let's stand united against injustice.
Demand UNCONDITIONAL release of 11 detained Baha'is since May 25th
Together, we can make a difference 🤝 #YemeniBahais

We had an inspiring event at the Bahá’í House of Worship with @janschakowsky marking her efforts alongside the amazing sacrifices women and members of the #Bahai community have made for the progress of all the people in #Iran in the face of persecution! #OurStoryIsOne#FoRB
#6 of 10-Mahshid Niroumand (27) had a degree in physics & diplomas in English, German & French. She was sentenced to death for the 'crimes' of being a Baha’i, teaching children’s classes & being unmarried. On 18/6/1983 Mahshid was hanged with 9 other #Bahai women. #OurStoryIsOne
