About the Persecution
Some 300,000 Baha’is live throughout Iran, making the Baha’i Faith the country’s largest minority religion. The persecution of Baha'is in Iran has been taking place since the religion began there in the mid-nineteenth century. More than 200 Baha’is were killed in Iran between 1978 and 1998, the majority by execution, and thousands more were imprisoned. Official Iranian government documents, smuggled out of the country and authenticated, reveal an initiative by Iran to eradicate the Bahá’í Faith, the largest religious minority in the country.
