Iran: Stop Ruthless Attacks on Persecuted Baha'i Religious Minority
(Amnesty International) Iranian persecution of the Baha'i religious minority has increased in intensity with a recent flurry of raids, arbitrary arrests, home demolitions and land grabs. Since July 31, 2022, Ministry of Intelligence agents have raided and confiscated dozens of Baha'i properties and arrested at least 30 members of the community in various cities. The authorities have subjected many more to interrogations and/or forced them to wear electronic ankle bracelets, claiming that those arrested were "core members of the Baha'i espionage party."
