## Resource

Iran’s government has unleashed a brutal crackdown on its Baha’i minority, imprisoning dozens since January amid nationwide unrest — with reports of torture, forced confessions, and destruction of religious texts. As protests rage and thousands are arrested, Baha’is are being scapegoated, accused of espionage or crimes without evidence, while state media paints them as the nation’s enemies. One detainee, Peyvand Naimi, has languished in prison for months despite a judge’s order for release — a chilling symbol of a system that uses religious persecution to crush dissent and instill fear.
