We are going abroad again, to talk about a religious group that is not allowed to exist, at least in its country of origin. In Iran, adherents of the Baha’i Faith are deprived of civil rights. Baha’is cannot obtain ID cards, are denied access to higher education, and may not work for the state. Prejudice against Baha’is includes their being considered unclean. Baha’is are now particularly under pressure in the pandemic. In Iran, which has been severely impacted by Covid-19, 10,000 prisoners are being released from prisons because of the risk of transmission risks, while Baha’is have been experiencing increasing arrests and are expected to face trial and imprisonment in the coming weeks.
