US Criticism of Treatment of Baha’is in Iran

Ned Price, the spokesperson for the US State Department, criticized the sentencing of two Baha’i women in Iran to 10 years in prison and called for an end to the government’s mistreatment of followers of this religion.

Mr. Price wrote on Twitter that earlier this month, Iran sentenced two Baha’i women to 10 years in prison because of their faith. The continued persecution of Baha’is through home raids, business closures, sham trials, and property destruction must end.

The global Baha’i community, in a statement issued on December 11, announced the sentencing of Mahvash Sabet and Fariba Kamalabadi to 10 years in prison.

These two had previously been imprisoned for 10 years as well.

According to reports, the harassment and arrest of Baha’is in Iran have intensified alongside the nationwide suppression of protests.
