The viciousness of the Iranian regime toward Iranians of the Baha’i faith was in the sentencing of seven Baha’i educators to years in prison.
They are professors and officials involved in Baha’i Institute for Higher Education (BIHE). BIHE is an online university created for Baha’i citizens who have been denied the opportunity to study at Iran’s universities. In today’s Iran, creating those educational opportunities is a crime—indeed, the crime of “membership in illegal groups with the intention to commit crimes against Iran’s national security.”
Each one of the seven was sentenced to four or five years in prison.
