The Baha'i International Community wants you to get involved in a current social justice crisis in Iran. Click the link below to a website called Education Under Fire. The opening screen presents an open letter by two Nobel Peace Prize recipients, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Jose Ramos-Horta, President of East Timor. Please investigate the other tabs at the top of that web page.
In brief, the latest in an ongoing series of human rights violations by the Government of Iran against the Baha'i Faith is denial of access to higher education. Faculty and students of the Baha'i Initiative for Higher Education have been imprisoned. Imagine, for failure to recant your faith in God, being denied all civil rights, denied access to jobs of any kind, and the likelihood of forced entry into your home and imprisonment for any kind of group social engagement with a Baha'i.
Not only Baha'i s are subject to abuse. Another current protest initiative has been launched on behalf of an Iranian Christian, Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, who has been found guilty of apostasy by the regime's courts.
