More Baha'is arrested in Iran


The BWNS reports that six more Baha'is have been arrested in Iran; one of which worked at Nobel prize winner Shirin Ebadi's human rights organization.

"According to reports received from Iran, the six were arrested after government security agents raided the homes of at least 11 Baha'is. During the raids, they also confiscated Baha'i books and other items, such as computers and photographs.

Among those arrested was Jinous Sobhani, who worked as an assistant for the Organization for Defending Mine Victims and also for the Defenders of Human Rights Center. Both were founded by Mrs. Ebadi."
