▁def aming ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁Faith . ▁The ▁articles , ▁which ▁make ▁use ▁of ▁fake ▁historical ▁documents , ▁engage ▁in ▁a ▁dist ortion ▁of ▁history ▁to ▁fals ely ▁describe ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁moral ▁principles ▁in ▁a ▁manner ▁that ▁would ▁be ▁offensive ▁to ▁Muslims , ▁thus ▁indu cing ▁feelings ▁of ▁suspicion , ▁dist rust ▁and ▁hatred ▁for ▁members ▁of ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁community ▁in ▁Iran . ▁ ▁The ▁articles ▁claim , ▁in ▁the ▁face ▁of ▁all ▁historical ▁data , ▁that ▁the ▁religion ▁was ▁invented ▁and ▁impl anted ▁by ▁colonial ist ▁powers ▁to ▁sub vert ▁Islam ▁and ▁to ▁sub j ug ate ▁the ▁Muslim ▁peoples ▁of ▁Iran . ▁They ▁use ▁fake ▁historical ▁documents ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁mem oirs ▁of ▁Prince ▁Dol gor ou ki , ▁a ▁mid - n in ete enth ▁century ▁Russian ▁minister ▁in ▁Te hr an , ▁to ▁substant iate ▁their ▁claims ; ▁the ▁mem oirs ▁were ▁however ▁manufactured ▁in ▁Iran ▁in ▁ 1 9 3 7 ▁and ▁have ▁long ▁since ▁been ▁exposed ▁as ▁for ger ies . ▁ ▁The ▁articles ▁also ▁state ▁that ▁the ▁B áb , ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁Faith ' s ▁central ▁figures , ▁was ▁taught ▁simultaneously ▁by ▁the ▁Jews ▁and ▁the ▁Ts ar ist ▁government ▁of ▁Russia , ▁even ▁though ▁the ▁Ts ar ist ▁government ▁was ▁well - known ▁to ▁have ▁been ▁unf av our able ▁towards ▁the ▁Jews . ▁The ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁World ▁Centre ▁claims ▁that ▁the ▁link ing ▁of ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁with ▁Z

servers ▁have ▁stated ▁is ▁without ▁mer it . ▁The ▁government ▁of ▁Iran ▁has ▁histor ically ▁defined ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁as ▁an ▁' other ' ▁to ▁draw ▁public ▁attention ▁away ▁from ▁the ▁government . ▁ ▁In ▁October ▁ 2 0 1 1 ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁International ▁community ▁published ▁a ▁report ▁titled ▁" In c iting ▁Hat red : ▁Iran ' s ▁Media ▁Campaign ▁to ▁Dem on ize ▁B aha ' is ", ▁analy zing ▁media ▁items ▁between ▁late ▁ 2 0 0 9 ▁and ▁early ▁ 2 0 1 1 . ▁ ▁Other ▁events ▁ ▁In ▁April ▁ 2 0 0 5 , ▁D iane ▁Al a ' i , ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁spokes person ▁to ▁the ▁United ▁Nations ▁in ▁Gen eva , ▁described ▁other ▁forms ▁of ▁per secut ion ▁to ▁the ▁UN ▁Commission ▁on ▁Human ▁Rights : ▁ ▁Al a ' i ▁also ▁said ▁that ▁in ▁March ▁ 2 0 0 5 , ▁in ▁Te hr an , ▁Iran ian ▁intelligence ▁agents ▁entered ▁the ▁homes ▁of ▁several ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁and ▁spent ▁hours ▁r ans acking ▁their ▁houses ▁before ▁cart ing ▁away ▁their ▁poss essions ▁and ▁taking ▁them ▁into ▁custody . ▁ ▁The ▁Bah á ʼ í ' s ▁New ▁York ▁spokes person , ▁B ani ▁D ug al , ▁clar ified ▁some ▁of ▁the ▁involved ▁in ▁December ▁ 2 0 0 5 : ▁ ▁D ug al ▁said ▁that ▁although ▁the ▁majority ▁of ▁those ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁who ▁have ▁been ▁arrested ▁were ▁released , ▁nine

▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁abroad , ▁in ▁particular , ▁in ▁Iran . ▁ ▁The ▁United ▁Nations ▁and ▁the ▁United ▁Nations ▁Commission ▁on ▁Human ▁Rights ▁have ▁published ▁reports ▁on ▁the ▁per secut ion ▁of ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁since ▁the ▁Iran ian ▁Revolution ▁in ▁ 1 9 7 9 ; ▁in ▁every ▁year ▁since ▁ 1 9 8 4 , ▁except ▁for ▁ 2 0 0 2 , ▁the ▁United ▁Nations ▁Commission ▁on ▁Human ▁Rights ▁has ▁passed ▁a ▁resolution ▁express ing ▁concern ▁about ▁human ▁rights ▁viol ations ▁against ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁in ▁Iran . ▁The ▁Special ▁Represent ative ▁on ▁Iran , ▁Professor ▁Gal indo ▁P ohl , ▁Canadian ▁Jur ist ▁and ▁U BC ▁Law ▁Professor , ▁Maurice ▁Cop ith orne , ▁and ▁the ▁Special ▁Rap port eur ▁on ▁Relig ious ▁Int oler ance , ▁Professor ▁Ab du ' l ▁F ata h ▁Am or , ▁have ▁all ▁reported ▁on ▁the ▁per secut ions ▁that ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁have ▁faced ▁in ▁Iran . ▁For ▁example , ▁in ▁ 1 9 9 5 ▁the ▁commission ▁wrote ▁that ▁" ... ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ ís , ▁whose ▁existence ▁as ▁a ▁viable ▁religious ▁community ▁in ▁the ▁Islamic ▁Republic ▁of ▁Iran ▁is ▁threatened ▁ ..." ▁and ▁in ▁November ▁ 2 0 0 5 ▁they ▁wrote ▁that ▁" ... ▁the ▁escal ation ▁and ▁increased ▁frequency ▁of ▁discrimination ▁and ▁other ▁human ▁rights ▁viol ations ▁against ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁[ s ic ], ▁including ▁cases ▁of ▁arbitrary ▁arrest ▁and ▁det ention , ▁the ▁den ial
▁of ▁freedom ▁of ▁religion ▁or ▁of ▁publicly ▁carrying ▁out ▁commun al ▁affairs , ▁the ▁dis reg ard ▁of ▁property ▁rights , ▁the ▁destruction ▁of ▁sites ▁of ▁religious ▁importance , ▁the ▁suspension ▁of ▁social , ▁educational ▁and ▁community - related ▁activities ▁and ▁the ▁den ial ▁of ▁access ▁to ▁higher ▁education , ▁employment , ▁p ensions , ▁adequate ▁housing ▁and ▁other ▁benefits ▁ ..." . ▁ ▁Am n esty ▁International ▁has ▁also ▁documented ▁the ▁per secut ion ▁of ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁community ▁in ▁Iran . ▁For ▁example ▁in ▁ 1 9 9 8 ▁it ▁gave ▁statements ▁regarding ▁the ▁execution ▁of ▁a ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁prisoner : ▁" Am n esty ▁International ▁un res erved ly ▁condem ns ▁the ▁execution ▁of ▁R uh ull ah ▁Rou h ani ▁and ▁fears ▁that ▁he ▁was ▁executed ▁for ▁the ▁non vi olent ▁expression ▁of ▁his ▁beliefs . ▁Am n esty ▁International ▁currently ▁knows ▁of ▁seven ▁cases ▁of ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁prisoners ▁under ▁the ▁sentence ▁of ▁death ▁and ▁is ▁calling ▁for ▁commut ation ▁of ▁these ▁and ▁all ▁other ▁death ▁sentences ▁without ▁delay " ▁ ▁The ▁European ▁Union ▁in ▁the ▁ 2 0 0 4 ▁EU ▁Annual ▁Report ▁on ▁Human ▁Rights ▁wrote : ▁ ▁Then ▁in ▁a ▁speech ▁given ▁at ▁the ▁European ▁Parliament ▁in ▁October ▁ 2 0 0 5 ▁on ▁behalf ▁of ▁the ▁European ▁Commission er ▁for ▁Education , ▁Training , ▁Culture ▁and ▁Mult iling ual ism , ▁Jan ▁Fig el ▁said : ▁ ▁The ▁United ▁States ▁Department ▁of ▁State ▁Bureau ▁of ▁Democr acy , ▁Human

, ▁Christianity , ▁and ▁Z oro ast rian ism ▁which ▁are ▁protected ▁under ▁Iran ian ▁law ; ▁Iran ▁has ▁not ▁acknowledged ▁that ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁Faith ▁is ▁a ▁religion . ▁ ▁The ▁United ▁Nations ▁responded ▁to ▁the ▁Iran ian ▁government ' s ▁accus ations ▁by ▁stating ▁that ▁there ▁has ▁been ▁no ▁evidence ▁of ▁Iran ' s ▁claims ▁and ▁that ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁community ▁in ▁Iran ▁profess es ▁its ▁alleg iance ▁to ▁the ▁state . ▁The ▁United ▁Nations ▁pointed ▁to ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁teaching ▁of ▁ob ed ience ▁to ▁the ▁government ▁of ▁one ' s ▁country ▁and ▁stated ▁that ▁any ▁involvement ▁in ▁any ▁sub vers ive ▁acts ▁against ▁the ▁government ▁would ▁be ▁ant it het ical ▁to ▁pre cept s ▁of ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁religion . ▁The ▁United ▁Nations ▁also ▁stated ▁that ▁if ▁the ▁Iran ian ▁government ▁did ▁acknowledge ▁that ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁Faith ▁is ▁a ▁religion , ▁it ▁would ▁be ▁an ▁admission ▁that ▁freedom ▁of ▁religion ▁does ▁not ▁apply ▁to ▁all ▁in ▁Iran ▁and ▁that ▁it ▁is ▁not ▁ab iding ▁by ▁the ▁Universal ▁Decl aration ▁of ▁Human ▁Rights ▁and ▁International ▁C oven ants ▁on ▁Human ▁Rights ▁to ▁which ▁it ▁is ▁a ▁sign atory . ▁ ▁There ▁are ▁many ▁Iran ians ▁who ▁have ▁published ▁how ▁and ▁why ▁Iran ians ▁think ▁of ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁as ▁outs iders . ▁Dr . ▁Moh amm ad ▁T av ak oli , ▁a ▁Muslim - I ran ian , ▁who ▁is ▁a ▁Professor ▁of ▁Middle ▁Eastern ▁Studies
▁at ▁the ▁University ▁of ▁Toronto ▁presents ▁in ▁Iran - Name h , ▁a ▁Pers ian ▁language ▁academic ▁journal , ▁a ▁study ▁that ▁exam ines ▁the ▁processes ▁that ▁led ▁to ▁the ▁g het to ization ▁and ▁event ual ▁" other ing " ▁of ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁in ▁Iran ▁by ▁the ▁political ▁and ▁religious ▁forces ▁within ▁Iran ian ▁society . ▁ ▁Egypt ▁In ▁ 1 9 2 5 , ▁Egypt ▁became ▁the ▁first ▁Islamic ▁state ▁to ▁legally ▁recognize ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁Faith ▁as ▁an ▁independent ▁religion ▁apart ▁from ▁Islam . ▁Despite ▁a ▁histor ically ▁active ▁Egyptian ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁community ▁during ▁the ▁early ▁twentieth ▁century , ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁institutions ▁and ▁community ▁activities ▁have ▁been ▁banned ▁since ▁ 1 9 6 0 ▁by ▁Law ▁ 2 6 3 . ▁This ▁law ▁was ▁decre ed ▁by ▁Egyptian ▁President ▁Gam al ▁Ab del ▁Nas ser , ▁seven ▁years ▁after ▁the ▁founding ▁of ▁the ▁Arab ▁Republic ▁of ▁Egypt . ▁All ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁community ▁properties , ▁including ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁centers , ▁libraries , ▁and ▁c em eter ies , ▁were ▁conf isc ated ▁by ▁the ▁government . ▁The ▁current ▁Egyptian ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁community , ▁estimated ▁to ▁number ▁between ▁several ▁hundred ▁and ▁two ▁thousand , ▁has ▁also ▁had ▁fat was ▁issued ▁against ▁it ▁by ▁Al - Az har ' s ▁Islamic ▁Research ▁Center , ▁which ▁charges ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁with ▁apost asy . ▁ ▁In ▁January ▁ 2 0 0 1 , ▁ 1 8 ▁people ,
▁mostly ▁Bah á ʼ ís , ▁were ▁arrested ▁in ▁the ▁city ▁of ▁S oh ag ▁under ▁the ▁pret ence ▁of ▁having ▁viol ated ▁Article ▁ 9 8 ( F ) ▁of ▁the ▁Pen al ▁Code ▁(" ins ult ing ▁a ▁heaven ly ▁religion ") ▁and ▁other ▁possible ▁charges , ▁ 1 0 ▁of ▁whom ▁were ▁held ▁in ▁det ention ▁for ▁over ▁ 1 0 ▁months ▁without ▁being ▁formally ▁charged . ▁ ▁During ▁and ▁since ▁the ▁ 2 0 1 1 ▁Egyptian ▁revolution ▁t ensions ▁have ▁remained ▁high ▁– ▁homes ▁have ▁been ▁bur nt ▁though ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁contributed ▁to ▁the ▁dialogue . ▁Since ▁ 2 0 1 1 ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁while ▁hope ful ▁remain ▁concerned ▁and ▁a ▁Sal afi ▁spokes man ▁has ▁said ▁of ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁" We ▁will ▁pro sec ute ▁the ▁Bah ai ' s ▁( s ic ) ▁on ▁the ▁charge ▁of ▁tre ason ." ▁ ▁See ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁Faith ▁in ▁Egypt . ▁ ▁Ident ification - card ▁controversy ▁ ▁The ▁Egyptian ▁identification ▁card ▁controversy ▁began ▁in ▁the ▁ 1 9 9 0 s ▁when ▁the ▁government ▁modern ized ▁the ▁electronic ▁processing ▁of ▁identity ▁documents , ▁which ▁introduced ▁a ▁de ▁fact o ▁requirement ▁that ▁documents ▁must ▁list ▁the ▁person ' s ▁religion ▁as ▁Muslim , ▁Christian , ▁or ▁Jewish ▁( the ▁only ▁three ▁relig ions ▁officially ▁recognized ▁by ▁the ▁government ). ▁Con sequently , ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁were ▁unable ▁to ▁obtain ▁government ▁identification ▁documents ▁( such ▁as ▁national ▁identification ▁cards , ▁birth
▁cert ificates , ▁death ▁cert ificates , ▁marriage ▁or ▁divorce ▁cert ificates , ▁or ▁pass ports ) ▁necessary ▁to ▁exercise ▁their ▁rights ▁within ▁the ▁country ▁unless ▁they ▁lied ▁about ▁their ▁religion , ▁which ▁conflicts ▁with ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁religious ▁principles . ▁Without ▁documents , ▁they ▁could ▁not ▁be ▁employed , ▁educated , ▁treated ▁in ▁hospitals , ▁travel ▁outside ▁of ▁the ▁country , ▁or ▁vote , ▁among ▁other ▁hard ships . ▁ ▁Following ▁a ▁pro tract ed ▁legal ▁process ▁cul min ating ▁in ▁a ▁court ▁ruling ▁favor able ▁to ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ ís , ▁the ▁interior ▁minister ▁of ▁Egypt ▁released ▁a ▁dec ree ▁on ▁April ▁ 1 4 , ▁ 2 0 0 9 , ▁am ending ▁the ▁law ▁to ▁allow ▁Egypt ians ▁who ▁are ▁not ▁Muslim , ▁Christian , ▁or ▁Jewish ▁to ▁obtain ▁identification ▁documents ▁that ▁list ▁a ▁dash ▁in ▁place ▁of ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁three ▁recognized ▁relig ions . ▁The ▁first ▁identification ▁cards ▁were ▁issued ▁to ▁two ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁under ▁the ▁new ▁dec ree ▁on ▁August ▁ 8 , ▁ 2 0 0 9 . ▁Under ▁this ▁compromise ▁solution , ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁Faith ▁is ▁still ▁un recogn ized ▁by ▁the ▁government ▁— ▁Islam , ▁Christianity , ▁and ▁Jud a ism ▁remain ▁the ▁only ▁recognized ▁relig ions . ▁ ▁Following ▁the ▁ 2 0 1 1 ▁Egyptian ▁revolution ▁and ▁comments ▁by ▁Dr . ▁I bra him ▁Gh on iem , ▁acting ▁Minister ▁of ▁Education ▁and ▁a ▁member ▁of ▁the ▁Muslim ▁Brother hood , ▁in ▁late ▁
2 0 1 2 ▁it ▁seemed ▁that ▁the ▁Egyptian ▁school ▁system ▁would ▁exclude ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁children ▁and ▁put ▁in ▁doubt ▁the ▁settlement ▁of ▁the ▁identification ▁card ▁controversy . ▁ ▁Other ▁countries ▁While ▁the ▁most ▁significant ▁per secut ion ▁has ▁happened ▁in ▁Iran ▁and ▁Egypt ▁during ▁this ▁century ▁and ▁the ▁last , ▁other ▁countries ▁have ▁restricted ▁or ▁per secut ed ▁Bah á ʼ ís . ▁In ▁several ▁countries ▁with ▁majority ▁Muslim ▁populations , ▁they ▁have ▁done ▁so ▁on ▁the ▁same ▁basis ▁as ▁Iran ▁and ▁Egypt — that ▁since ▁Islam ▁does ▁not ▁recognize ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁Faith , ▁neither ▁should ▁the ▁government , ▁and ▁thus ▁all ▁manner ▁of ▁social ▁services ▁and ▁identity ▁are ▁circum scribed . ▁B anning ▁orders ▁have ▁been ▁made ▁against ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁activities ▁in ▁Al ger ia ▁( 1 9 6 9 ), ▁Iraq ▁( 1 9 7 0 ▁and ▁versions ▁since ) ▁and ▁Indonesia ▁( especially ▁but ▁not ▁exclusively ▁ 1 9 6 2 – 2 0 0 0 ). ▁During ▁the ▁late ▁ 1 9 7 0 s , ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁Faith ▁was ▁also ▁banned ▁in ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁countries ▁in ▁sub - S ah aran ▁Africa ▁( B ur und i , ▁ 1 9 7 4 ; ▁Mal i ▁ 1 9 7 6 ; ▁U g anda ▁ 1 9 7 7 ; ▁Cong o , ▁ 1 9 7 8 ; ▁and ▁Niger , ▁ 1 9 7 8 ). ▁ ▁Afghanistan ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁were
▁per secut ed ▁and ▁imprison ed ▁in ▁Afghanistan ▁during ▁the ▁rule ▁of ▁the ▁Tal ib an . ▁Post - T al ib an , ▁one ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁was ▁arrested ▁and ▁the ▁court ▁has ▁ruled ▁that ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁Faith ▁is ▁not ▁a ▁recognized ▁religion ▁and ▁therefore , ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁have ▁no ▁rights ▁under ▁Islamic ▁Law . ▁See ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁Faith ▁in ▁Afghanistan . ▁ ▁A zer ba ij an ▁In ▁A zer ba ij an , ▁a ▁region ▁that ▁has ▁some ▁of ▁the ▁earliest ▁connections ▁with ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁Faith , ▁there ▁have ▁been ▁several ▁news ▁stories ▁covering ▁severe ▁social , ▁bureau cr atic ▁and ▁legal ▁limits ▁on ▁religious ▁communities , ▁including ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ ís , ▁since ▁the ▁fall ▁of ▁the ▁Soviet ▁Union . ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁are ▁trying ▁to ▁recover ▁properties ▁that ▁were ▁conf isc ated ▁in ▁the ▁ 1 9 3 0 s . ▁ ▁In ▁ 2 0 0 4 , ▁T av ach ur ▁Al iev , ▁a ▁Bah á ʼ í , ▁claimed ▁to ▁have ▁been ▁arrested ▁for ▁mention ing ▁his ▁religion ▁and ▁was ▁released ▁when ▁he ▁promised ▁not ▁to ▁mention ▁his ▁religion ▁again . ▁ ▁Furthermore ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 6 , ▁laws ▁were ▁being ▁considered ▁that ▁would ▁cur tail ▁the ▁rights ▁and ▁privile ges ▁of ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁and ▁other ▁religious ▁minor ities . ▁See ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁Faith ▁in ▁A zer ba ij an . ▁ ▁Indonesia ▁In ▁Indonesia
, ▁while ▁the ▁government ▁gave ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁the ▁freedom ▁to ▁exist ▁as ▁an ▁organization ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 0 , ▁the ▁ ▁national ▁registration ▁system ▁continues ▁to ▁restrict ▁the ▁religious ▁freedom ▁of ▁persons ▁who ▁do ▁not ▁belong ▁to ▁the ▁five ▁officially ▁recognized ▁faith s ; ▁thus ▁Bah á ʼ ís ▁cannot ▁register ▁their ▁mar riages ▁or ▁their ▁children ' s ▁birth s . ▁Cou ples ▁prevented ▁from ▁register ing ▁their ▁mar riages ▁or ▁the ▁birth s ▁of ▁their ▁children ▁in ▁accordance ▁with ▁their ▁faith s ▁must ▁either ▁convert ▁to ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁five ▁recognized ▁faith s ▁or ▁mis rep resent ▁themselves . ▁Those ▁who ▁choose ▁not ▁to ▁register ▁their ▁mar riages ▁or ▁their ▁children ' s ▁birth s ▁risk ▁future ▁difficulties ; ▁for ▁example , ▁many ▁children ▁without ▁a ▁birth ▁certificate ▁cannot ▁en roll ▁in ▁school ▁or ▁may ▁not ▁qualify ▁for ▁scholar ships ▁and ▁individuals ▁without ▁birth ▁cert ificates ▁cannot ▁qualify ▁for ▁government ▁jobs . ▁ ▁Muslims ▁who ▁converted ▁to ▁the ▁Bah á ʼ í ▁Faith ▁in ▁Sul aw esi ▁were ▁intimid ated ▁by ▁their ▁neighbors ▁and ▁by ▁the ▁local ▁government ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 7 . ▁Of ▁seven ▁households ▁who ▁converted , ▁two ▁returned ▁to ▁Islam , ▁four ▁refused ▁to ▁change , ▁and ▁the ▁other ▁ignored ▁requests ▁to ▁convert ▁again . ▁ ▁In ▁August ▁ 2 0 1 4 , ▁the ▁Indones ian ▁government ▁officially ▁recognized ▁the ▁mon othe istic ▁faith ▁as ▁a ▁religion , ▁and ▁the ▁then ▁Relig ious ▁Affairs ▁Minister ▁L uk man ▁H ak im
