“A Change in Tactics”: #Bahai International Community details “brutal” persecution in #Iran bic.org/news/change-tactics-………… The Iranian government is using intensified and brutal new tactics to persecute the Baha’i religious minority in Iran, according to a new statement of the Baha’i International Community released today, with a view to “robbing” the Baha’is of a “sense of peace and security in their daily lives." A troubling range of “new and harsh methods” by the authorities have included violent home raids, an increase in the number of Baha’is both in prison and awaiting their summons to jail, punishing property confiscations, denial of burial rights, denial of higher education, and surging official hate speech against the community. #OurStoryIsOne
