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.
Templo Baha’i de Sudamerica (Baha’i Temple of South America) has released a short video capturing the personal reflections of some of the attendees at the conference celebrating the dedication of the House of Worship in Chile.
An article about the first day of the conference to celebrate the dedication of the House of Worship in Chile was also released by the Baha’i World News Service and can be read here.

Well presented video. Everyone seems so happy which , to me, is testiment in itself of the truth of the Faith.
