| Persecution |
|
| The harassment of individuals or a group with a view to causing injury, grief, affliction or death; specifically, to cause such individuals or groups to suffer because of their beliefs. |
| Bahá'ís in several parts of the world, particularly the Middle East and most notably Iran, have suffered persecution. The Bahá'ís, and before them the Bábís, in Iran have been persecuted by succeeding governments from the beginning of their history. The latest persecutions in Iran began with the Islamic Revolution in 1979 and have prevented Bahá'ís from working, from receiving pensions, and from attending school and university, with extreme forms of persecution being imprisonment, torture and execution. |
