An Open Letter to the Iranian Prosecutor General

Baha'i Perspectives March 6th, 2009

With uncertainty clouding the future of the Baha’is currently held captive by the Iranian authorities, and with the recent upswing in human rights violations perpetrated towards the Baha’i community there, the Baha’i International Community has produced a document for the immediate attention of the Iranian Prosecutor General, Ayatollah Qorban-Ali Dorri-Najafabadi.

This tremendous composition exposes the absurdity of the charges against Baha’is, and states in a factual, clearly presented manner, the reality of the persecutions that Baha’is have experienced in Iran over recent decades. It is an appeal to mind and heart of every human being following the situation, be they perpetrators, journalists, well-wishers or simply spectators — and in particular to the governing authorities of Iran — to take stock of what is happening and to accord the freedom and dignity due to every citizen of that land.

    This letter left me in tears and speechless. It can be related to the fundamental right to life of every human being.

    Dr Nader Saiedi provides an in-depth analysis of the baseless and illogical nature of Ayatollah Najafabadi’s public statements. It is masterfully written, and well worth becoming familiar with to share with others:
