Anti-Defamation League speaks out in defence of the Bahá’ís in Iran
Written by ry on April 5th, 2006
The Anti-Defamation League has issued a press release regarding the current situation of the Bahá’ís in Iran, saying that it “sets a dangerous precedent” and “is reminiscent of the laws imposed on European Jews in the 1930s”. From the release:
“These actions by the Iranian government are reminiscent of the steps taken against Jews in Europe and a dangerous step toward the institution of Nuremberg-type laws,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. “This clear attempt to step-up persecution of the Bahai community in Iran sets a dangerous precedent. Since the Iranian Revolution, the Bahais have suffered religious persecution and bigotry in Iran, but this step raises it to the next level.”
