More than 90 prominent citizens from throughout India have renewed their call for the release of Iran’s seven jailed Baha’i leaders in an open letter. “As citizens of India, a country that has rightfully prided itself in exemplifying for the world the spirit of coexistence and tolerance, we express our deep concern for the imprisoned Baha’is and their families” they said. “We call upon all those who are committed to peace and justice in India to join us in petitioning the Iranian Government to immediately and unconditionally release these and other Baha’is who have been unjustly imprisoned in Iran.” Signatories to the open letter included former Supreme Court Judge, Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer, and Archbishop Vincent Concesso of Delhi’s Sacred Heart Cathedral. The open letter has been sent by Dr. Mohini Giri, former chairperson of the National Commission for Women, to India’s Iranian Ambassador.
