Authorities of the Islamic Republic in northern Sari are planning to launch an exhibition to promote propaganda against religious minorities.
Iranian media has reported on an upcoming exhibition titled “Water and Mirage,” which will focus on propaganda against religious minorities, particularly the Baha’i faith.
According to the IRNA news agency, the “Water and Mirage” exhibition will be held for one week starting on October 12, in collaboration with the Institute for Studies on Sects and Religions, the Mazandaran Department of Culture and Islamic Guidance, and the Sari Municipality, at a park.
The exhibition is being organized with the goal of what the organizers describe as “familiarizing the public with the thoughts and deviations” of religious minorities in Iran.
On Wednesday, during a press conference to unveil the exhibition’s poster, Ehsan Ahangar, Director of Mazandaran’s Department of Culture and Islamic Guidance, warned about the “propaganda activities” of Baha’is.
Ahangar also claimed that Baha’i adherents in Iran “commit the most offenses and are identified and punished by relevant authorities, but they are always portrayed as victims in society.”
The Iranian government does not recognize the Baha’i faith, and its followers have faced systematic discrimination in the country for decades.
Baha’is have been persecuted in Iran because of their faith and are often accused of being spies or opposing the Iranian government. The Baha’i International Community states that no evidence has been provided to support these charges.
