Human Rights Unfolds in Iran


Iran is in the midst of a comprehensive human rights struggle. A new generations' worldview is putting social justice at the center of that nations' vision for the future. What constitutes a 'religious state' and how do citizens create unity through peaceful, nonviolent change? This photo(above) from Salvador, Brazil, says that the struggle of Mandela is our struggle, against apartheid there(South Africa) and here(Brazil).Baha'is in Iran have struggled for human rights and religious freedom for more than a century, including those currently imprisoned, and are a model for social justice and peace. In so doing, they are "serving the entire human race", or in the words of the Sioux-Mitayuke Oyasin (We are all related).
