Powerful video (2 min) by Muslims in defense of Baha'is' rights



The Muslim Network for Baha'i Rights impresses yet again with an excellent, stirring video that speaks out for justice for Irans people in general, and for its Baha'i minority in particular. The dynamic, transformational force that this Network represents bodes well for the influence that enlightened religionists can exert on the course of world developments in all parts of the earth!





United for Baha'i Human Rights (text - excerpts)

[T]imes are changing...

And as the world raises its voice for human rights in Iran
We know change can come
We know the power of words
We know our unity.

And we know that
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
(Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.)

And so we cry out from the rooftops...
And from blogs, videos and social networks.

Out of our shared belief in justice
For Baha'i human rights
For the people of Iran
For people everywhere.

Be informed. Stay aware.

About the Muslim Network for Baha'i Rights:
  • The authors are Muslim interfaith activists who are deeply concerned with the treatment of Baha'is within the Middle East. We don't believe in the Baha'i faith, but we respect those who do.
  • We would like to make the general public of the region aware of Baha'i human rights abuses in order to take effective action against the increasingly alarming situation of Baha'is

Latest Video: United for Baha'i Human Rights
We are extremely excited to release our latest video, which has been in the works for quite some time now. As we noted on our timeline, this powerful video (whose chants we used in the background to one of this video's scenes.) abuses against the innocent Baha'i minority in Iran have been committed for over 30 years. Inspired by the reactions of Iran's latest election, where many Iranians took to the streets to demand change and respect for their human rights, we felt that a new video was in order, especially after
To truly explore the amount of abuse the Iranian regime has been committing against the Baha'i minority in Iran, please explore this extensive timeline.
For the past 30 years, followers of the Baha'i Faith in Iran have been lynched, falsely imprisoned, vilified and driven out of their homes. Baha'i children have been deprived of their right to an education, adults have been prevented from earning a livelihood and thousands of families had their properties illegally confiscated by the government.
But the Iranian regime would have us believe that its the innocent party in these circumstances. It continues to deny that it harbors any intentions to eradicate the Baha'i community, while employing all possible means to slander and denigrate the memories of its victims. We need to fight for their human rights.
