Iran's Media Spreads Anti-Baha'i, Anti-Israel Conspiracy
(Jerusalem Post) Seth J. Frantzman - Iran's Fars news agency reported Monday that Baha'is are spying on Iran directed from "the main center of the sect in Israel." Iran's regime has a long record of suppressing Baha'is, including the execution or hanging of up to 200 members of the community since 1979. The Baha'i international community says that 710 Baha'is have been arrested in Iran since 2005. The founder of the Baha'i faith was exiled to Acre in the 19th century during Ottoman times and predates the foundation of Israel.
