Since the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, Amnesty International has reported that at least 202 Baha’is have been executed by the current Iranian regime. Although executions have become rarer in recent times, the Iranian regimes’ campaign to systematically cripple members of the Baha’i Faith in Iran has intensified, as on the 14th of January six Baha’is were arrested, including one Baha’i woman who worked at a human rights organization linked with Nobel Prize winner Shirin Ebadi.
