On 28 May #Iran agents bulldozed #Bahai-owned rice fields in Ahmadabad, Mazandaran, destroying crops in the attack. Agents had illegally fenced off the lands in January. This is cruelty, economic apartheid, and religious cleansing to drive the Baha’is off their own lands. More info: #ItsTheirLand #OurStoryIsOne #HumanRights

Masih Alinejad 🏳️, a notable #Iranian human rights defender, has posted a video statement to nine million Instagram followers in which she reads from a letter by the jailed Iranian #Bahai woman Mahvash Sabet and adds her own call for unity in diversity in Iran. Masih Alinejad points to the persecution of all Iranian Baha’is and says they are targeted for staying true to their beliefs. But instead of encouraging Baha’is to hide their identities to avoid persecution, she says: “Let us learn from them, to stand firm, and also speak about our own true identity and beliefs.” Watch her full video.

The beautiful #Bahai cemetery in #Ahvaz, which had belonged to the Baha'i community for 110 years, has been set on fire. Its ancient and sturdy trees were also cut into pieces. Why? Simply because of religious prejudice against the Baha’is. These heartless acts must stop immediately. #Iran #BahaiRights #OurStoryIsOne

BREAKING NEWS: Nineteen #Bahai citizens arrested in #Iran. Armed agents raided the homes of 20 Baha'is in the city of Hamadan, arresting 10, and detained another 9 Baha’is in Karaj, taking a total of 19 into custody. The homes of two elderly Baha’i women in Hamadan—one of them suffering from several illnesses—were also searched. Akhtar Naiemi is 85 years old and Pouran Khandel is 80: their husbands were among more than 200 Baha’is executed after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The Baha’i International Community is tracking this developing situation with grave concern. Iran’s government must release all detained Baha’is. Arresting innocent people, especially the ailing and elderly, is inhumane and illegal under international law.

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 Our press release:
