in Explore > ThemesJune 18, 2023 will mark 40 years since 10 Baha’i women were hanged in Shiraz. Their only ‘crime’ was their refusal to renounce their beliefs in a faith that promotes the principles of gender equality, unity, justice, and truthfulness. This collection highlights Baha’i Blog content relating to the ongoing persecution of Baha’is in Iran.
My dad, Dr. Alimohammad Hashemi, MD served the poor and disadvantaged patient in Isfahan, Iran for 45 years. He was a Baha’i. He was let go from his job in government Clinic because of his religion and lost his pension! I am so honored that Australian people voices raise the concern for these innocent Baha’is!
