Plight of Iranian Baha'is in Iran

Iranian Baha'is have suffered for over a century, and continue to suffer, persecution at the hands of Iranian authorities in Iran. Recently, seven of them were rounded up and put in prison for almost a year, and are now facing a trial. Their only "crime" is that they are Baha'is. Yet, the Muslim authorities heap unfounded accusations on them, including spying for Israel and propaganda against the Islamic Republic.

All over the world Baha'is and even non-Baha'is are raising awareness of this injustice. Baha'is are also organizing prayer gatherings everywhere on behalf of these seven Baha'i friends. Please remember them in your prayers and thoughts.
