Video 4 min. - GENOCIDE - Bare facts of the persecutions in Iran


Murder with Impunity from Bobby Aazami on Vimeo.

This video shows commentaries about the persecution of the Baha’is. The term 'genocide' is used to describe what is happening in Iran to the followers of this peaceful religion at the hands of the authorities, which is entirely warranted according to its dictionary meaning, "the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group."1

The Iranian government is currently intensifying its persecution of its largest religious minority, the Baha'is. Please watch and consider what you might do to stop the murder in the dark - of Baha'is AND of other peoples persecuted solely on account of their religious beliefs.
