Baha’i scholars await trial in Iran

The Takeaway

Eight members of the Bahai’i religious minority  are awaiting trial in Iran, after organizing the Baha’i Institute for Education, a place where dismissed professors teach Baha’i youth as volunteers. The Iranian government recognizes the Baha’i community as a political organization, rather than a religious group, and declared the center illegal. Mahtab Farid’s father  is one of the eight imprisoned Baha’i schools in Iran. His trial will begin on September 25.
