Responding to the public outcry from western nations against Iran for the plight of seven imprisoned Baha’i leaders, Iran’s Prosecutor-General stated that these individuals have “accepted the charges”. This comic strip speculates on how such a confession might have come about!
It should be noted previous “trials” of detained Baha’is consisted of a series of sessions [...]

The usual accusations Iranian officials have made against Baha’is (supporting Zionism and insulting religious sanctities) are ridiculous in themselves. But some of the accusations leveled against Baha’is cross over into the realm of bizarreness:

One of the accusations made against the NSA members in 1981 was “Sending or receiving reports containing code words such as ‘Amoo [...]

Iran’s leaders lose no opportunity to remind the world of their painful efforts to show “respect” and “tolerance” the Baha’i community. The latest proclamation came from Najafabadi, Iran’s Prosecutor General who stated that “the Iranian government has provided the Bahai sect in Iran with all the facilities offered to other Iranian citizens” and has “always [...]

While reporting on the story, we were struck by not only the Egyptian government’s reluctance to abide by its [...]

Baha’is in Egypt and Iran are being denied their right to education. Why? Simply because of their faith. On the Muslim Network for Baha’i Rights, we have written about the discrimination that Egyptian Baha’is have been receiving, which right now is comparable to what Iran has been putting its Baha’i students through for decades.
