Persecution of Baha'is in Iran intensifies
From: http://news.bahai.org/story/632

"Six Bahá’í leaders in Iran were arrested and taken to the notorious Evin prison yesterday in a sweep that is ominously similar to episodes in the 1980s when scores of Iranian Bahá’í leaders were summarily rounded up and killed."

Please help us get the word out.
Contact your government representatives, Congresspeople, Members of Parliament, etc. about this issue.

Contacting officials

The letter sent from the National Spiritual Assembly actually requests that we only contact our congressional representatives at this time, and not members of the Senate. Otherwise, they are recommending that we put it on blogs, websites, and otherwise bring the issue to the attention of the world.
