First of them, a general, send-to-all, saying this: «Dear Friends, This is the latest news about the Baháí persecution in Iran. Some of the Baháís in Shiraz wanted me to bring this news to the notice of you all. They want us to help them and spread the news out to everywhere. They want to broadcast this news. So please do whatever you can do. We are the ones who can do that, nobody does that for us. About one year ago, 54 Baháí youth were arrested in Shiraz, Iran; just because they were serving the poor people living in a deprived area around the city. Three of them whose names are Ms. Raha Sabet, Mr. Sasan Taghva and Ms. Haleh Ruhi are sentenced to be in prison for four years. The rest of them are sentenced to be in prison for one year. These sentences cannot be still enforceable (according to the law in Iran). But on Monday, November 19, one of the governmental departments calls these three Baháís to go there and get back their belongings. But when they go there, instead of getting back their belongings, they find out that they want to send them to the Adel-Abad Prison for executing the sentence (four years of imprisonment). Warm regards,» And the second, from a relative of one of them to me saying that they were not taking in Adel-Abad, and their parents have no idea about their whereabout... I’ve just recieved two emails.
