Event in Support of the Baha'is in Iran

In Iran, repression of the Bahá’í community is official government policy, as evidenced by documents uncovered by the U.N. Human Rights Commission.

Despite international pressure, seven Iranian Bahá’í leaders have been imprisoned for over a year and a half on baseless charges and face possible execution for their beliefs. Nevertheless, over 300,000 Iranian Bahá’ís stand steadfast in their Faith in the face of this persecution.

Join us in a demonstration of love and support for these members of our human family and stand with us in solidarity for human rights and religious freedom in Iran. The program will include artistic presentations, prayers from many faiths, and inspiring speakers.
