Iran Sentences Baha’is to Prison
Iran on Tuesday said more than 50 followers of the minority Baha’i faith were convicted of distributing propaganda against the country’s Islamic regime, state media reported.
(…)
Last year, Baha’i communities abroad had reported that a group of followers were detained in Shiraz, located about 550 miles south of Tehran, while helping poor communities there.
Iran had been the cradle of the Baha’i faith in the middle of the 19th century. But the faith was banned after the 1979 Islamic revolution, and it is not recognized in the Iranian constitution as a religious minority.

É apenas mais um episódio na longa lista de discriminações e hostilizações contra os baha’is iranianos.
Só estranho é que quando o Min. dos Negócios Estrangeiros Iranianos esteve em Portugal ninguém lhe perguntou nada sobre as minorias religiosas e étnicas do Irão…
