Concern mounts over the fate of Iranian Baha’i leaders

The Bahá’í International Community today expressed its deep concern for the fate of the six Baha’i leaders who were arrested on May 14, 2008. At present, the whereabouts of none of the seven are known.

It was originally understood that the six were taken to Evin prison with the seventh remaining in Mashhad since March 2008. Relatives have made repeated attempts to gain more information, but have only been met with evasion and conflicting stories from government officials.
