New report on human rights violations in Iran to be launched on 6 March
A new special report from the Baha'i International Community, “Violence with Impunity: Acts of aggression against Iran’s Baha'i community,” will be released on 6 March 2013, at a side event to the 22nd regular session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva. The report documents rising incidents of violence against Iranian Baha'is and the degree to which perpetrators, whether government officials or unidentified attackers, have so far enjoyed complete impunity from prosecution. The side event, scheduled for noon in room XXVII at the Palais des Nations, will feature remarks by Heiner Bielefeldt, the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, and by Diane Ala’i, representative of the Baha'i International Community to the UN in Geneva.
