Baha’i Minority in Iran Faces Persecution Even After Death

March 23, 2024

Context

In Iran, Baha’i Minority Faces Persecution Even After Death.

  • The graves have been desecrated by state authorities in Iran.

About Baha’i Minority

  • The Bahai faith is a relatively young monotheistic religion with spiritual roots dating back to the early 19th century in Iran.
  • The Bahais have a spiritual center in the Israeli port city of Haifa, but its history dates back to well before the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948.
  • Unlike other minorities, Bahais do not have their faith recognised by Iran’s constitution and have no reserved seats in parliament. 
  • They are unable to access the country’s higher education and suffer harassment ranging from raids against their businesses to confiscation of assets and arrest.
