Iranwire – The Islamic Republic’s authorities have arrested four Baha’i citizens in Shiraz and taken them to an undisclosed location.
According to IranWire sources, Intelligence Department agents raided the homes of several Baha’i citizens in the city, detaining Vahid Masoumi, Vahid Sabet, Elham Haghighatjo, and Rozita Eslami.
While the specific charges against the detainees remain undisclosed, they are believed to have been transferred to Shiraz’s Intelligence Detention Center.
For decades, Baha’is have faced systematic discrimination in Iran, as the Islamic Republic does not recognize their faith.
The government frequently accuses Baha’is of being spies or opposing the regime, though the Baha’i International Community asserts that no evidence has been provided to support these allegations.
Over the past two years, the Iranian government has intensified its crackdown on members of the Baha’i faith, imprisoning dozens of them on spurious charges, denying them access to higher education and livelihoods, and confiscating or destroying their properties.
