The Iran Human Rights Documentation Center has condemned the arrest of Baha’i leaders in Iran.

Tom Parker, Executive Director of the Center, said “The IHRDC is greatly concerned that these latest arrests signal the intention of the Islamic Republic of Iran to further escalate its persecution of this peaceful religious minority. The situation of the Baha’i community is precarious, the IHRDC is calling on the international community to demand the release of these prisoners of conscience and shine a spotlight on one of the most egregious and neglected examples of religious persecution that can be found anywhere on the planet today.”
