The Baha’is remain among the most persecuted groups in Iran and are branded a heretical political cult by the regime. It is impossible to describe the systematic destruction of their community as anything other than cultural genocide.

jpost.com//Middle-East/T…
Baha’is are banned from establishing religious institutions and burying their relatives according to traditions. They’re prohibited from seeking higher education, government employment and are excluded from the social pension system. They’re also denied right to inherit property
Baha’is cannot demand compensation for crimes committed against them and, by law, Baha’i blood can be spilled with impunity. The existence of Baha’i World Centre in Israel is often used as an excuse by the regime to depict Baha’is as Zionist agents who deserve to be oppressed.
More than 200 Baha’i leaders have been put to death and more than 10,000 have been dismissed from the public sector since 1979.

All ethnic and religious minorities in Iran face systematic harassment, imprisonment, torture, and execution to various degrees.
