The Baha’i World Community flatly denied those charges. Diane Ala’i, the Community’s Representitive to the UN told the AFP that “without doubt, these are baseless fabrications devised by the government to further create an atmosphere of prejudice and hatred against the Iranian Baha’i community.”
According to a BBC Farsi report, the nine Bahai’s who were arrested on January 3, 2010 are: Babak Mobasher, Lava Khanjani-Mobasher, Negar Sabet, Jhinoos Sobhani, Artin Ghazanfari, Nasim Biglari, Sa’id Rowhani, Mehran Rowhani, and Payam Fanaian.

The people of Iran have the regime on trial for what it has done to the country for over 30 years –oppressing, imprisoning, and killing Iranians — many of them Muslims simply because they voiced different views about things. So, it is of little surprise that this awful regime plans to try the arrested Baha’is who have already experienced a sort of slow death in the dungeon of the Islamic Republic for a year and half. Is this Islamic justice?
Muhammad has proclaimed: al hokmo yodavemo bel kufr– va la yadvemo bel thulm. Don’t these “Muslims” believe the Prophet? They don’t even heed his warning? What can one say other than pray for the innocent souls in the prison of the Mullahs and all those innocent Iranians who are captive in the larger prison of Iran.

The attempt to blame the Baha’is for unrest in the Islamic Republic is a sign of desperation, since the people of Iran know how many years the Baha’is have been taking a “low profile” in Iran. Muhammad, in the most desperate times, never attacked the innocent, women and children, or non-combatants. Muhammad had one advantage over the present leadership in Iran. Muhammad knew that God was on His side, so there was no need to violate laws or tell lies.
