In addition to the arrests and imprisonments, the government has also ramped up its practice of vilifying and dehumanising Bahá’ís in the media. This home in Kerman was gutted by fire in July of 2008. Heiner Bielefeldt, former UN Rapporteur, described the persecution of the Bahá’ís in Iran as, “…one of the most obvious cases of state persecution.” Now, in the face of an escalating health pandemic, the Iranian authorities have ramped up their persecution of Bahá’ís, targeting at least 77 people across the country. Prof. Iarfhlaith Watson, MSocSc, PhD, UCD School of SociologyGrainne McMurrow (SC, Rep. Council of Europe Venice Commission)The Iranian government has been trying to destroy the Bahá’í community for more than 40 years. In recent months, members of Iran’s Bahá’í community have been facing a double threat. In recent days, six Baha’is in South Khorasan Province were summoned and have had to present themselves for imprisonment; four more were arrested in Kerman and Yazd provinces; another Baha’i in Alborz Province was sentenced to one year of imprisonment and two years of internal exile; and yet another Baha’i in Isfahan province was summoned to serve a prison sentence.After being arrested and released on large bails, these individuals have faced months, and sometimes years, of waiting between their arrest, trial, appeal court, and the beginning of a jail term, adding an enormous additional burden psychologically. In Fars Province 12 Baha’is were sentenced from one to 13 years of imprisonment under spurious charges. Not only is the risk of infections from the coronavirus epidemic gripping their nation, a tide of religious persecution is also rising. Iranian authorities have escalated their persecution of the Baha’i community, targeting at least 77 individuals across the country in recent weeks, despite a potential second wave of coronavirus infections hitting the country, according to a global organisation representing the faith.The Baha’i faith, which was originally founded in Iran, is seen as “Bahai’s are used to persecution, however, this is almost unprecedented numbers in the matter of a month,” Bani Dugal, Principal Representative to the United Nations for the BIC, told the Telegraph.While dozens of religious and political groups have been hurt by the Islamic Republic’s 41-year rule of Iran, the Baha’is are widely considered to be Dozens of Baha'is were killed or jailed in the years immediately following the Islamic revolution in 1979. The Institute operated in private homes, as shown above, and by correspondence. The persecution of Iran’s Bahais is still ongoing with dozens of Bahais languishing in prisons throughout Iran. The family had received threatening phone calls, and someone also tried to burn their carA Bahá’í father and son (at left) in chains after being arrested with fellow Bahá’ís, in a photograph taken around 1896. These parents are deeply concerned for their daughter’s care should they be sent to prison. “Subjecting them to the constant threat of imprisonment under these circumstances and emotional anguish associated with it is yet another attempt to place greater strain on the community.
