ESCALATION OF OPPRESSION

In a desperate attempt to further oppress a religious minority, the Islamic Republic of Iran imprisons Baha’i educators. Deprived of higher education in state-sanctioned institutes of higher learning, the Baha’is created their own system of post-secondary education, the Baha’i Institute for Higher Education (BIHE).  The instructors of BIHE are all Baha’i volunteers who donate their time in order to educate young men and women who are banned from attending public and private universities in Iran because of their religious beliefs.

I look forward to a day when all Iranian people will be treated equally as human-beings regardless of their religious affiliations.
