in Explore > Themes

June 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.

The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is an instrument established by the UN to assist all countries in the world to improve their human rights situations. A UN Special Rapporteur has been assigned to support Iran in its efforts to improve human rights. Will Iran have meaningful conversations in the near future with the Special Rapporteur on Human Rights to help its own citizens?
