Global leaders, cultural figures and human rights advocates worldwide call for release of tortured Baha’i prisoners in Iran: Nobel laureates, officials and parliamentarians, and global personalities around the world unite behind Peyvand Naimi and Borna Naimi as global pressure mounts on the Iranian government to release tortured Baha'i prisoners Our full story: bic.org/news/global-le… #Iran #Bahai #HumanRights

@AmnestyIran issues an Urgent Action Letter to the Iran's Head of Judiciary for release of Peyvand Naimi and Borna Naimi. They report that “agents subjected them to torture and other ill-treatment, including beatings, mock executions, and electric shocks, to force ‘confessions,’ and have denied them access to lawyers and medical care.” #BahaiRights #Iran #PeyvandNaimi #BornaNaimi

The Baha’i International Community is appalled at the baseless and unjust imprisonment of senior #Baha’i dignitary Remy Rowhani at the airport in #Qatar this morning. Remy Rowhani is a respected Qatari citizen and chairperson of the Assembly of the Baha'is of Qatar who served his country with distinction for decades—most recently as Director of the International Chamber of Commerce’s MENA regional office @ICC_Qatar @iccwbo. In April 2021, a Qatari court framed Mr. Rowhani in a prejudicial case judged in absentia. The ruling was confirmed in May 2022 by an appeals court. Qatari officials had indicated Mr Rowhani’s one-month prison sentence and $27,000 fine would not be enforced and that he was free to travel. Today’s actions mark an arbitrary escalation after decades of discrimination against the Baha’is for their religion. Mr Rowhani must be released immediately and the discrimination must be brought to an end.

Yesterday a senior #Bahai official, Omid Seioshanseian, was forcibly detained and disappeared by #Egypt state security for over 13 hours at Cairo International Airport. His devices were confiscated and he was unable to contact relatives or colleagues. Mr. Seioshanseian was handcuffed, blindfolded, physically mistreated, interrogated and threatened, by agents of the State Security Investigations Service Al-Amn Al-Qawmi, and then filmed under duress to state that he was not mistreated. @BahaiBIC_Rights is raising this outrageous incident—and that of all Baha’is in Egypt—at the highest levels worldwide. Noting in particular Egypt’s legal obligations to the @UN Committee Against Torture. The Egyptian authorities must immediately cease such mistreatment of dignitaries and guarantee non-recurrence and the safety and security of all Baha’is and minorities. #CAT @apt_geneva @omctorg @FIACAT_org @FreefromTorture @P4HR @SwissAmbUN_GVA @UN_HRC @UN_SPExperts & Special Rapporteurs @NazilaGhanea #NicolasLevrat #AliceEdwards @usmissiongeneva @EU_UNGeneva @UKMissionGeneva @GermanyUNGeneva @FranceONUGeneve @SpainUNGeneva @IndiaUNGeneva @eu_eeas @kajakallas @EUinEgypt @Tineke_Strik @PrLCastillo @LeolucaOrlando1 @OlofBSkoog @BBCArabic #EgyptianBahaiRights #HumanRights #HumanRightsViolations
