An Op-Ed by Elliott Abrams, who takes note of the promises for improved human rights by newly elected Iranian President Hassan Rouhani but says that so far this has not translated into any changes for Iranian Baha'is, who since 1979 have faced "systematic repression." He writes: "In his address to the General Assembly, Rouhani spoke of peace and democracy and said it is “vital to promote tolerance.” But his government shows Baha'is no tolerance, and he is continuing his predecessors’ pattern of preventing any kind of normal life for them."
