La frase 'unidad en diversidad' suena inspiradora, pero las enseñanzas bahá'ís dejan claro que la justicia debe venir primero.

Love of God and spiritual attraction do cleanse and purify the human heart and dress and adorn it with the spotless garment of holiness... This love is not of the body but completely of the soul. And those souls whose inner being is lit by the love of God are even as spreading rays of light, and they shine out like stars of holiness in a pure and crystalline sky. For true love, real love, is the love for God, and this is sanctified beyond the notions and imaginings of men. - #AbdulBaha

…their agitation was turned into peace, their doubt into certitude, their timidity into courage. Such is the potency of the Divine Elixir, which, swift as the twinkling of an eye, transmuteth the souls of men!

The @EIPR's latest report, titled "Erasure: Egypt's Systemic Campaign to Eradicate its Bahá'í Community," documents the ongoing persecution of the Bahá'í community in Egypt. In this video, @hossambahgat, Executive Director of EIPR, shares more about the report: "The Egyptian government moved from merely discriminating against Bahá'ís, solely based on their religious belief, 20 years ago, to a situation where difficulties are imposed at every stage of life for every Bahá'í citizen."

@articleeighteen republishes an analysis by Fred Petrossian examining the acoustic world of imprisonment in Iran. The article documents how Baha'i prisoners, including #MahvashSabet, co-founder of the Baha'i Institute for Higher Education, experienced both the suffering and solidarity transmitted through sound. Sabet heard a woman crying and screaming from a neighbouring cell and responded, breaching the isolation acoustically even as the wall remained intact.

Continued Detention of Navid Zarrehbin Irani After More Than Seven Months in Vakilabad Prison, Mashhad

It was learned on 1 September 2026 that Mr. Navid Zarrehbin Irani, a photographer and Bahá’í resident of Mashhad, remained detained in Vakilabad Prison more than seven months after his arrest, with his legal case still unresolved.

Navid Zarrehbin Irani was arrested on 15 January 2026 in connection with that year’s protests in Mashhad. Following his arrest, he was held for a period of time in a Ministry of Intelligence detention facility in Mashhad before being transferred in late April 2026 to Vakilabad Prison.

His interrogation session was held on 1 July 2026 at the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office in Mashhad. Despite this, no details have been disclosed regarding the status of his case or the charges against him. His detention order has continued to be renewed monthly, because the Ministry of Intelligence’s final report has not yet been submitted to the court branch handling the case.

To date, Mr. Zarrehbin Irani has not been granted temporary release on bail. As of the time of writing, he had spent 230 days in detention; no court hearing had been held, and no final decision regarding his legal status had been announced.

Austrian MP Mag. Katrin Auer calls for the immediate and unconditional release of Peyvand and Borna Naimi, alongside all unjustly imprisoned prisoners of conscience.

Peyvand and Borna Naimi have been arbitrarily detained since January and March 2026, respectively.

Her statement joins a growing chorus of parliamentarians and human rights advocates worldwide calling out the Iranian government’s ongoing persecution and scapegoating of the Bahá’ís in Iran.

Security forces raid homes of three Bahá’í families in Isfahan; extensive seizure of property and closure of a business

On August 24, 2026, more than 20 plainclothes security agents, presenting judicial warrants, simultaneously raided the homes of three Bahá’í families in Isfahan. After conducting extensive searches, they confiscated a large number of personal and household belongings. A business belonging to the family was also sealed.

The homes searched belonged to Amin Tebyanifard, Bahariyeh Askarinasab, and Nima Tebyanifard. Ms. Askarinasab, Amin Tebyanifard’s mother, lives in a separate unit in the same building as her son. The agents also searched the family’s musical instrument-making workshop, located in the same building, and confiscated all of its tools, equipment, and specialized instrument-making machinery, along with several valuable handmade musical instruments.

At the same time, another group of agents went to the home of Nima Tebyanifard, Amin Tebyanifard’s son, in another neighborhood of Isfahan and took a number of his personal belongings.

The searches began at around 8:00 a.m. and continued until approximately 1:00 p.m. According to information received, in one of the cases, the agents’ conduct involved violence, physical assault, and threats.

During the searches, a large quantity of personal and household property was confiscated, including laptops, mobile phones, smartwatches, power banks, modems, a satellite receiver, books, paintings and religious images, cash, foreign currency, gold, a professional photography camera, a television, a TV stand, luggage, and tennis equipment.

The agents also confiscated a number of musical instruments belonging to the family, including a piano, violin, setar, cello, tombak, kamancheh, guitar, and clarinet.

The family’s music and musical instrument store was subsequently sealed by the authorities.

At the conclusion of the searches, Nima Tebyanifard was served with a summons requiring him to appear at the Isfahan Intelligence Department. Summonses were also issued to other members of the family requiring them to appear before the court located at Dastgerd Prison in Isfahan.
