US-IRAN-POLTICS-RIGHTS-BAHAI-RELIGION
TO GO WITH AFP Story US-IRAN-POLTICS-RIGHTS-BAHAI-RELIGION by Shaun Tandon
Sina Sabet Sarvestani, Iraj Kamalabadi, Azadeh Rohanian Perry and Kamal Khanjani (from L-R), realatives of Baha’i prisoners in Iran, tale their stories before The US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) in Washington, DC, on February 9, 2011. Prison conditions are worsening for seven leaders of Iran's Bahai community who are staying in cramped cells with poor sanitation alongside common criminals, US-based relatives said. Iran drew international condemnation in 2008 for arresting leaders of the Bahai faith, which has no clergy. The religion was founded in Iran in 19th century and is anathema to the nation's Islamic clerical regime. AFP PHOTO/Jewel Samad
