Entire Baha’i Leadership in Iran Detained Without Charge

The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran today called on the Iranian judicial authorities to account for the detention of the six leading members of the Baha’i Faith, who have been taken to Evin prison.

“We are deeply concerned that the detention without charge of the entire Baha’i leadership is consistent with a pattern of violent and illegal persecution of Baha’is in Iran,” the campaign stated. “The persecution of religious minorities will bring neither internal stability nor international security to Iran.”
