Editor’s Note: Actor Rainn Wilson plays paper salesman Dwight Schrute in the U.S. television comedy “The Office.” Today he published a commentary on CNN.com about recent events in Iran.

The Hojatieh WILL use a US congress UNBINDING resolution as a hammer to violate the Iranian Bahais and non-Bahais rights. It is a much better to contact well-know human rights campaign organizations to press the Iranian government to stop violating human rights in Iran in general and the Bahai persecutions in particular.
