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 National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of the United Kingdom has released the trailer for a film it has commissioned for the bicentenary of Baha’u’llah’s Birth and, based on this preview, the movie promises to be excellent. The trailer is called “Who is Baha’u’llah?”.
According to a recent news story of the UK Baha’i News, the movie will be “used in schools across the country. It is envisaged that this film will not only inform, but also inspire young people from a variety of diverse settings and backgrounds to examine their own lives and capacities for service to humanity.”
Under the auspices of the National Spiritual Assembly, a Religious Education Task Force is currently creating lesson plans and educational materials to accompany the film which is scheduled to be released in September 2017.
