Indian Baha'i Group Highlights Increased Persecution of Baha'is in Iran Amid Unrest

The Baha'i community in India has expressed concern over increasing persecution of Baha'is in Iran amid national unrest. The Iranian government is reportedly using Baha'is as scapegoats, broadcasting coerced confessions on state media and spreading false accusations. This pattern of scapegoating during crises has persisted since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Human rights groups have documented forced confessions and rising arrests of Baha'is, highlighting ongoing repression amid calls for justice in Iran.
