bahais in iran

the cradle of the bahai faith - iran - has been persecuting the bahais since the inception of the faith. in the recent years there as been an increased discrimination of the bahais. on of the many act of discrimination includes expelling bahai students from the universities (and even denying them admittance) based solely upon them being bahais. other act of persecution include the destruction of grave sites, harassment and detainment of bahais, and attacks upon the bahais through the media. this is a grave issue and i hope that anyone who has the opportunity will help stop this and the many injustices which are happening to the bahais of iran.

thanks
