USCIRF Commissioner @USCIRF_Bauer: "We applaud today's @USTreasury action to sanction #Iran's Bonyad Mostazafan, which was created to 'confiscate and manage property’ that originally belonged to religious minorities such as Baha’is and Jews.'" https://t.co/ldd9iefNft

@USCIRF_Bauer: “We also commend the sanctioning of Intel Minister Mahmoud Alavi. Under his leadership, the Intelligence Ministry ‘arrested and detained members of the Baha’i religion without charges.’ It also has arrested Sunni Muslims and closed an Assyrian Christian church.”
