A new site has just been put up by the Bahá’í community in South Africa addressing the denial of education of the Bahá’ís in Iran. The site, which compares the treatment of Bahá’ís in Iran to apartheid in South Africa, describes how the government has denied Bahá’ís access to colleges and universities for over 25 years. It also encourages visitors to sign a letter addressed to many international organizations (including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, UNICEF and UNESCO) calling for the government of Iran to allow all Iranians, no matter what their race, gender, class, or religion may be, to pursue higher education.
