The Office of Public Places in this city sealed the business premises of eleven Baha’i citizens in Rasht over the last few days: Faraj Farhangi, Touraj Farhangi, Mohammad Asadpour, Foad Yazdani, Massoud Razavian, Siamak Abdulhamidi, Seed Abdulhamidi, Shahb Taeed, Homayoun Khanlari, Bashir Heravi, and Saadat Yegan. Moreover, the Office of Public Places in Lahijan have sealed the business of Navid Rouhipour in that city.

Observing Baha’i holidays was the sole reason behind the government’s closures.

Within the past weeks, more than 120 Baha’i-owned businesses have been sealed across Iran.
