A thought of hatred must be destroyed by a more powerful thought of love. Thoughts of war bring destruction to all harmony, well-being, restfulness and content. Thoughts of love are constructive of brotherhood, peace, friendship, and happiness - #AbdulBaha

Heartbreaking farewell – for 7 years – at the prison gate. On January 13, Mr. Zabihi Moghaddam began a 7-year sentence solely 4 being #Bahai: member of #Iran's largest, unrecognized and relentlessly persecuted non-Muslim religious minority #HumanRights #BahaiRights #OurStoryIsOne

[Bahá'í International Community - Human Rights @BahaiBIC_Rights]

Yesterday a senior #Bahai official, Omid Seioshanseian, was forcibly detained and disappeared by #Egypt state security for over 13 hours at Cairo International Airport.
His devices were confiscated and he was unable to contact relatives or colleagues. Mr. Seioshanseian was handcuffed, blindfolded, physically mistreated, interrogated and threatened, by agents of the State Security Investigations Service Al-Amn Al-Qawmi, and then filmed under duress to state that he was not mistreated.
@BahaiBIC_Rights is raising this outrageous incident—and that of all Baha’is in Egypt—at the highest levels worldwide. Noting in particular Egypt’s legal obligations to the @UN Committee Against Torture.
The Egyptian authorities must immediately cease such mistreatment of dignitaries and guarantee non-recurrence and the safety and security of all Baha’is and minorities.

"We watch & hope that human dignity will prevail”@siminfa von der @BahaiBIC sprach bei der #HRC57 über die Verfolgung der #Bahai im #Iran. Trotz Präsident Pezeshkians Worten vor der #UNGA geht die Unterdrückung weiter. Hält er seine Versprechen? Die Welt schaut zu #OurStoryIsOne

[Isma Forghani @HR_Austria]

Der neue iranische Präsident hat explizit versprochen, dass seine Regierung die Rechte ethnischer & religiöser Minderheiten im #Iran respektieren wird aber zwischen Rhetorik & Realität klafft immer noch eine große Lücke gerade in Bezug auf die Verfolgung der #Bahai #OurStoryIsOne

Bitte teilen: Die iranische Regierung greift erneut Bahai-Friedhöfe an: Der #Bahai-Friedhof in #Ahvaz #Iran wurde niedergebrannt. Und warum? Ganz einfach aus religiösen Vorurteilen gegen die #Bahais ! Diese herzlosen Taten müssen sofort aufhören! #BahaiRights #OurStoryIsOne

[Isma Forghani @HR_Austria]

Herr Al-Olofi, ein jemenitischer #Bahai, der im Mai 2023 bei einer brutalen Razzia der Huthi-Behörden verhaftet wurde, ist freigelassen worden. 4 weitere #Bahais sind weiterhin im #Jemen inhaftiert. Alle 4 müssen sofort und bedingungslos freigelassen werden. #FreeYemeniBahais

"Through the #Austria #PEN Club's #WritersAtRisk committee, I will not stop calling for the immediate release of #Bahai poet #MahvashSabet - who is imprisoned in #Iran simply because of her faith - until she can sit in that #empty chair herself!" says Mark Klenk #OurStoryIsOne

[Isma Forghani @HR_Austria]

Thank you Mark Klenk, chair of #WritersAtRisk Austria, for yesterday's beautiful tribute to the poetry of #MahvashSabet. It was such a moving #emptyChair event with artists Sarah Dvorak, Mitra Shahmoradi, Sofía Bartolomé Martin dedicated to the #bahai poet still in prison #Iran.

#Sherine_Ebadi in a recent statement:

The #Houthi-s who are persecuting #Bahai-s in #Yemen were trained in #Iran

The #supreme_leader made targeting the Bahais outside of Iran a principal objective of Iran’s foreign policy
