Iran Update
Responses from governments, NGOs, and prominent individuals

The following governments, nongovernmental organizations, and prominent individuals have issued statements in response:

The U.S. House of Representatives passed, by a vote of 407-2, a resolution condemning the government of Iran for “state-sponsored persecution of its Baha’i minority and its continued violation of the International Covenants on Human Rights.” It is the 11th congressional resolution since 1982 to address the religious oppression of the Baha’is in Iran. A similar measure is pending in the U.S. Senate. (22 October 2009)

-
The U.S. Department of State has published its 2008 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, and the section on Iran mentions the Baha’is numerous times as victims of human rights abuses. The report cites arbitrary arrests and detentions, including that of the seven Baha’i leaders; illicit and unlawful confiscation of property; lack of constitutional protection for Baha’is; and other abuses.
One paragraph reads, “The government continued to repress Baha'is and prevent them from practicing their religion by closing their places of worship. It banned them from government and military leadership posts, the social pension system, and public schools and universities, unless they concealed their faith. The courts also denied Baha'is the right to inherit property and refused to recognize Baha'i marriages or divorces. According to the law, Baha'i blood is considered ‘mobah,’ meaning Baha'is may be killed with impunity. The government repeatedly pressured Baha'is to recant their religious beliefs in exchange for relief from mistreatment.” (25 February 2009)

The report, in Persian, quotes the ICHR spokesman, Hadi Ghaemi, referring to the seven jailed Baha’is: “These accusations are very serious. All evidence, from their arrest to the upcoming trial, points to the fact that the accusations are baseless and have political roots.”
Further, he said, “The trial of these individuals, if the court cannot openly prove these charges, and if appropriate defense is not provided, will not be credible.

- Germany says worried about trial of Baha’is in Iran
-
BERLIN, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Germany expressed concern on Wednesday over the detention and likely imminent trial of seven members of the Baha'i faith in Iran who are accused of spying for Israel and could be sentenced to death.
"An extension of the current situation or a continuation of the proceedings, in unexplained legal conditions which do not meet international standards, would hurt relations with the international community," said Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman Ulrich Wilhelm in a statement.
Germany said there were signs that the detainees, who have been held since spring 2008, would soon be sentenced after a quick trial, and summoned Iran's Charge d'Affaires for talks with a senior German official.
"(The official) expressed the Chancellor's deep concern about the detention, the looming trial and the lack of legal advice," said Wilhelm.
The European Union has called for the release of the seven and Britain voiced its concern on Monday.
Iran's Shi'ite religious establishment views the Baha'i faith, which originated in Iran 150 years ago, as a heretical offshoot of Islam.
Germany, along with other Western nations, is in dispute with Iran over its nuclear programme. The powers suspect Iran wants to make a nuclear bomb but Tehran says it needs the technology for energy consumption. (18 February 2009)

“The seven Bahá'ís had to wait over eight months to be notified of the charges against them. They have not been given any access to their lawyer: and their lawyer has not been given access to their case files. This makes it very hard to believe that they will receive a fair trial.

The following statements were made to the Canadian Parliament.
Deepak Obhrai, parliamentary secretary to the minister of foreign affairs: “Reports yesterday that seven leaders of the Baha'i community, who had been detained without access to legal counsel, have now been charged is very troubling. Addressing the persecution of religious and ethnic minorities, such as the Baha'i in Iran, has been a consistent priority for Canada. … Canada will continue to raise our concerns about the Baha'i and human rights more generally directly with the Government of Iran.”
Irwin Cotler, member of Parliament and former justice minister: “The systematic and systemic abuse of the Baha'i minority in Iran unfortunately manifested itself again this week as seven members of the (Friends in Iran) group, already being held for almost a year in the notorious Evin Prison, were charged on Wednesday with spying for Israel, insulting Islam, and spreading propaganda against the state.. These trumped-up charges also carry the threat of capital punishment, with Iran already being among the world leaders in carrying out the death penalty. What action will the government take to protect this persecuted Baha'i minority and the persecuted prisoners in Iran?”
Lawrence Cannon, minister of foreign affairs: “The government of Canada has been extremely active in terms of human rights in Iran. … Canada led a multinational initiative at the United Nations where we condemned Iran for its human rights behaviour. I can assure members of the House … that we will continue exactly in that direction.” (13 February 2009)
