HAIL TO THE IRANIAN
WOMEN'S REVOLUTIONISTS FALLEN FOR FREDOM
against
the supreme leader, the arch-reactionary Ayatollah Ali Khomeini,
and his placeman president. The message of
the women when the former president visited a university was plain: <give way or
get lost> in 2023 and still is.

Center for Human Rights in Iran - Nov 5, 2024
<<Arrests, Imprisonments of Baha'i Soar as Iran's War on Religious
Minority Intensifies
Baha'i Women Singled Out for Harsh and Aggressive Persecution
Over 1,200 Facing Court Proceedings or Sentenced to Prison for
Practicing Faith
The Islamic Republic has intensified its crackdown on the Baha'i
community, the country's largest unrecognized religious minority, with
soaring arrests and detentions that have particularly targeted Baha段
women, the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI) and the International
Baha'i Community (BIC) said today. While the Iranian government has for
decades relentlessly persecuted members of the Baha'i faith, arresting
and imprisoning their leaders and blocking them from school, jobs, and
business ownership, the state痴 assault on the community has greatly
intensified, with over a thousand Baha'is-predominantly women-now facing
court proceedings or lengthy prison sentences. "The Iranian government痴
full-out assault on the Baha'i community demands far greater global
attention-the Islamic Republic is aggressively trying to erase an entire
community simply for their desire to practice their faith," said Hadi
Ghaemi, executive director of CHRI. "By targeting Baha'i women for
especially brutal persecution, the Iranian authorities are not only
devastating families and attacking the very heart of the community's
resilience, they are intentionally broadening their escalating war on
women," Ghaemi added. "When Baha'i women are attacked, entire families
feel the pain of this injustice. The targeting of Baha'i women-who are
doubly marginalized both as women and as members of a religious
minority-demands urgent global attention. Sentencing so many Baha'i
women to prison just for their beliefs demonstrates the urgent need for
governments to demand that Iran ends this persecution," said Simin
Fahandej, the Baha段 International Community痴 representative to the UN.
Key Findings:
At least 70 Baha'is are currently in detention or serving prison
sentences, while 1,200 are facing court proceedings or have been
sentenced to lengthy prison sentences. In 2024 alone, more than 93
Baha段s were summoned to court or prison-and more than 75% of them were
women. (See list below for numerous cases of Baha'i persecution from
January to October.) Since 2021, arrests and imprisonments of Bahai's,
property confiscations, destruction of cemeteries, denial of burials,
and business closures have increased by 50% each year. CHRI and BIC call
on the UN, governments worldwide, human rights groups, and religious
organizations of all denominations to demand that the Iranian
authorities immediately:
Release all imprisoned Baha'is;
Drop all charges and cease the persecution of Baha段s for the practice
of their faith;
End the policies of educational and employment discrimination;
Return or provide compensation for all confiscated or destroyed
businesses and properties;
Cease the destruction of Baha'i gravesites.
New Wave of Assaults Come After Decades of Brutal Persecution
Speaking to CHRI on condition of anonymity, a source close to a Baha'i
family in Iran said:
"The intensification of government pressures on the Baha'i community in
recent years, such as arrests or confiscation of Baha'i properties, has
brought back many past traumas to the family. In the 1980s, several
members of the Baha段 family that I know were executed, and some of
their properties were confiscated. Just a year ago, another woman from
this family was arrested. This caused many past traumas to resurface."
Iran's constitution does not recognize the Baha'i faith as an official
religion. For decades, Baha'is in Iran have been systematically denied
access to education and employment opportunities, subjected to the
confiscation or destruction of their business and properties, faced
arbitrary arrests, sentenced to lengthy prison terms on bogus charges
after grossly unfair trials, and subjected to the destruction of their
gravesites. This persecution violates numerous international
conventions, including the International Covenant on Civil and Political
Rights (ICCPR), to which Iran is a signatory.
Commenting on the severe and all-encompassing nature of the Iranian
government's persecution of the Baha'is, Saeid Dehghan, a prominent
human rights lawyer, said: "The Islamic Republic's systematic
discrimination and extensive restrictions against Baha'is - including
bans on university education, dismissals from government jobs, shop
closures, and especially widespread property confiscations - leads us to
conclude that the Islamic Republic of Iran is committing 'religious
apartheid' against the Baha'is."
Targeting Baha'i Women: A Gendered Repression
Women within the Baha段 community have increasingly borne the brunt of
the state's persecution, which is aimed at dismantling the community's
leadership structures. There have been a growing number of cases where
Baha'i women are arrested on spurious charges such as <propaganda
against the state> and <membership in illegal groups>-common pretexts
used to justify the broader persecution of religious minorities. Many
have been imprisoned under inhumane conditions, denied access to legal
representation, and subjected to physical and psychological abuse.
Referring to the widespread detention of Baha'i women in recent months,
a source told CHRI:
"It cannot be said that these pressures and encounters are new. They
existed before. But the fact is that Baha'i women have always had a more
serious role in holding Baha段 meetings. We basically live under the
rule of an anti-woman government in which there are many forms of
discrimination. When you are a woman and a follower of the Baha'i faith,
this discrimination not only intensifies but also comes with fear.
Imagine a girl who spent her childhood in the 1980s with all the
disastrous news and the poisonous atmosphere against the Baha'is and her
family members."
In a recent case, on September 25, 15 Baha'i women were re-tried by
Branch 1 of Iran痴 Islamic Revolutionary Court in Isfahan, central Iran,
on charges of <promoting> their religious beliefs. On October 20, ten
other Baha'i women were collectively sentenced to 90 years in prison by
the same court, with additional penalties, including fines and travel
bans, on charges of <propaganda and educational activities deviating
from Islamic law.>
In July 2024, 18 UN experts sent a letter to the Iranian government
outlining severe rights abuses against Baha'i women and requesting an
official response within 60 days. With no reply from Iranian
authorities, the experts made their letter public on October 22, 2024.
The UN experts expressed serious concern over "the recent alarming
increase in the systematic targeting of Baha'i women, including through
arrests, summoning for interrogation, enforced disappearance, raids on
their homes and confiscation of their personal belongings." They
continued: "The systematic nature of these violations represents a
continuous pattern of targeted discrimination and persecution of this
community and its members based on their religious affiliation and
identity."
The experts highlighted how Baha'i women in Iran face compounded
persecution due to both their gender and faith:
"The Baha'i community has seen a rise in attacks against women over the
last year. It is reported that Baha'i women currently comprise
two-thirds of all Baha'i prisoners in Iran, with a significant number
being held without due process and their whereabouts unknown. This
intensification of attacks has reportedly seen a significant recent
increase in arrests and summonses, with dozens of women facing baseless
criminal charges and prison sentences. These women are being separated
from their families, some with young children. It is reported that young
mothers have endured the harsh conditions of solitary confinement,
frequent interrogations, inadequate medical attention, and restricted
family contact." The UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Iran also
raised serious concerns over the increase in arbitrary arrests this year
in his final report to the UN Human Rights Council. Additionally, the UN
Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Iran found that Baha'is and other
minorities in Iran were disproportionately targeted during the state's
lethal suppression of the "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests that erupted
across Iran in 2022-23. It too noted that minority women, including
Baha'is, faced compounded discrimination based on both gender and
religion.
Destruction of Baha'i Graves and Secret Burials
In March 2024, Iranian authorities razed more than 30 newly dug graves
of Baha'is in a Tehran mass grave, removing markers and flattening the
area. This particular site has been used for more than two years to
forcibly bury Baha'is without allowing families to be present or
respecting funeral practices. In August 2024, a 110-year-old Baha'i
cemetery in Ahvaz was set on fire, and its ancient trees were cut down.
The Islamic Republic's destruction of Baha'i gravesites in Iran has been
a documented practice for decades, including the removal of grave
markers as part of efforts to erase their identity.
Cases of Baha'i Arrests in Iran (January-October 2024)
The following is a CHRI summary of the recent state-led persecution of
Baha段s from January to October 2024. All of these prosecutions lacked
even the most basic due process rights.>>
