Two representatives of Parliament, Fatemeh Alia and Mohammd Ismail Kowsari both of whom are also members of the influential Commission on Foreign Policy and National Security, become the latest to scapegoat Baha’is and accuse them and others of having a role in the Ashura protests.
Ayatollah Makarem-Shirazi, whose office has published numerous hateful anti-Baha’i articles in recent months, implicitly connects Baha’is to the unrest: “We have never seen a disturbance as big and complex as this in the last 30 years. The hypocrites, non-Muslim secularists, and misguided sects are very active in this disturbance.”
