Iran: persecution

The Iranian authorities have intensified the pressure on Iran's Bahai religious minority.
Recently there was an official order to security forces to
"boost efforts to identify heretics and a take the necessary measures to stop their activities." .
The document, which has also been viewed by Asma Jahanghir, the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, worries Iran's Bahai community,which is estimated at roughly 350,000 believers.
Baha'i and other members of religious minorities have been severely persecuted in the first years after the Islamic Revolution from 1979 and many Baha'i were executed in those years.
The Baha'i continue to be subject to discrimination and f.i. of the 180 Bahaìs who reportedly gained access to Iranian universities this academic year, 120 were subsequently banned for a variety of official reasons.
