UN Rights Experts urges Iran to stop persecution of Religious Minorities

Right experts urges Iran to end ‘systematic persecution’ of religious minorities, especially Baha’i.

Rights Group highlighted the issue of disappearance of Baha’i Faith People, and destruction and confiscation of movable and immovable properties.

The Group issued “Appeal for action”

““We are deeply concerned at the increasing arbitrary arrests, and on occasions, enforced disappearances of members of the Baha’i faith and the destruction or confiscation of their properties, in what bears all the signs of a policy of systematic persecution,”.

The group further observed that, ““The international community cannot remain silent while Iranian authorities use overbroad and vague national security and espionage charges to silence religious minorities or people with dissenting opinions, remove them from their homes and effectively force them into internal displacement,”.

It is noted that Baha’i community is one of the most persecuted communities around the globe since its inception.
