Justice for Baha’i

Since the late 1980s, the Baha’i community of Iran has been placed in prison and had their citizenship taken away simply because of the practice of their religion.

Now is the time to release each person from this terrible injustice.

I call on all the nation’s leaders to put pressure on Iran to return justice to these people. Their rights must be restored, and they must be returned to their families.
