Building unity with others in action

"We ended up opening doors for equality" - may we all feel as enthused about women's sport than we do about men's, and may we show our girls that they can do anything they put their minds to do.

Thank you to @SwissMFA @EDA_DFAE @swiss_un for mentioning the arbitrary arrests of #Bahais in #Yemen at the UN Security Council

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

Many thanks to Mission of Switzerland @swiss_un, for the statement in support of Yemeni #Bahais at the UN Security Council meeting yesterday. “Switzerland deplores the impact of the conflict on civilians…such as the arbitrary arrest and detention of members of the Baha’i community in Sana’a…Switzerland reminds the parties to the conflict of their obligations under international law.”

Grave concern for one of the #Bahai arrested during a raid in #Yemen by #Houthi gunmen. "His health has worsened in detention, and he must be released and treated before it becomes too late."

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

One of the Baha’is taken during a raid in #Yemen by #Houthi gunmen, on 25 May, is Ahmad Al Malahi who has a life-threatening condition. His health has worsened in detention, and he must be released and treated before it becomes too late. The Houthis are responsible for his life.

#Bahai #Yemen @UN_SPExperts "are concerned that the disappeared individuals are at serious risk of torture and other human rights violations and, given the past record, may even face death sentences" Thank you for your concern.

[UN Special Procedures @UN_SPExperts]

UN experts urge de facto authorities in #Yemen to release 16 Baháʼís disappeared by the Houthi militia in Sana’a four weeks ago. “The abduction of these individuals and concealment of their whereabouts are tantamount to enforced disappearance.

Thank you to #Switzerland @EDA_DFAE @SwissMFA and @SwissAmbOman for ensuring that religious minorities are not left behind. The situation of the #Bahais in #Yemen continues to be a cause of grave concern https://t.co/tqxkNcpmWH

[Gregorio Bernasconi @SwissAmbOman]

On this Int. Day for #CounteringHateSpeech we take action and say #NoToHate. To reach the furthest behind first, we ought to embrace the most vulnerable: marginalized communities such as #IDPs and #muhamasheen, religious minorities such as #Bahais, or people with #disabilities.❤️

An article by Deutsche Welle about the marking of the 40th anniversary of the execution of 10 #Bahai women in #Iran killed simply for being Baha'is, and wanting to contribute to the betterment of their country.

[Jascha Noltenius @JaschaNoltenius]

“In 1983, Iran hanged 10 #Bahai women in public. The @BahaiBIC has launched a campaign to mark the anniversary and raise awareness about the oppression of #Iran's largest non-Muslim religious minority.”

There are many details on the lives of the 10 #Bahai women executed in #Iran 40 years ago on the follow page: https://t.co/F61tw2zp1p This particular detail is shocking and an affront to freedom of religion or belief

[Archive Of Baha’i Persecution (‌اسناد بهائی‌ستیزی) @PersecutionIran]

Six days prior to the execution, the Chief Prosecutor demanded that the 10 Bahá'í women undergo four phases of guidance to convert to Islam or face death. Despite the threat, they chose not to recant their belief.
They were executed on 18 June 1983

Join the one year campaign to honour 10 women executed in 1983 for being #Bahai, and all women fighting for their rights in #Iran

[Archive Of Baha’i Persecution (‌اسناد بهائی‌ستیزی) @PersecutionIran]

The 10 Baha'i women denied fair trial, held for months without due process, interrogated, mistreated, and pressured to recant their beliefs. Denied chance to draft final wills. Today marks the 40th anniversary of their execution.
