Iran: persecution and marginalisation of the Baha’i community

The Iranian government has recently intensified its persecution of the Baha’i’ community in a recurring series of demolition of homes, land grabs, and arrests. Bahaism or the Baha’i faith is the second largest religion in Iran. It is also the largest religious non-Muslim minority in the country. The history of the life of Bahaism’s central religious figures takes place in Iran and goes back to religion’s beginning.
