Human Rights Watch to Iran: End persecution of Baha’is

23 February 2010

The Iranian government should immediately stop harassing and arbitrarily detaining members of the Baha'i community, Human Rights Watch said. "The Iranian government seems to be using the post-election unrest as a cover for targeting the Baha'i community," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch. "These arrests are only the latest chapter in the government's systematic persecution of the Baha'i."
