@AlinejadMasih, a notable #Iranian human rights defender, has posted a video statement to nine million Instagram followers in which she reads from a letter by the jailed Iranian #Bahai woman Mahvash Sabet and adds her own call for unity in diversity in Iran. Masih Alinejad points to the persecution of all Iranian Baha’is and says they are targeted for staying true to their beliefs. But instead of encouraging Baha’is to hide their identities to avoid persecution, she says: “Let us learn from them, to stand firm, and also speak about our own true identity and beliefs.” Watch her full video.

Mr. Khanjani, a 90 year old Baha’i man with health issues has been arrested. His arrest added to a new wave of persecution against the Baha’is in Iran in recent weeks, with over 180 incidents of persecution against the community, including over 60 arrests and imprisonments. The cruelty meted out to the Baha’is in Iran has no limits. No human being, bound by even the slightest principles of fairness, would regard it as anything other than a gross miscarriage of justice to imprison, without a shred of evidence, a 90 year old man who has already suffered profound persecution for his faith.” #Iran #ourstoryisone #bahai #HumanRights

Yesterday, August 13, Baha’is citizens Jamaloddin Khanjani and Maria Khanjani were arrested by security forces and incarcerated at Evin Prison. #Iran #Bahais ow.ly/WSCe50Pyq9R

Min datter har lige søgt om optagelse på fysik. Hun har brændt for det siden 2. klasse i folkeskolen, da vi sammen læste fagbøger om universet ❤️🪐✨☄️ Jeg håber, at flere vil søge specialist-uddannelserne på både science og humaniora. #faglighed @DustAnja @pwthuls @BrianArlyJac
