Summary

Harassment and unbridled aggravation against Baha’i citizens continues in the central towns of Iran.

In Yazd, a Baha’i citizen (Mehran Bandi, pictured above), who had gained relative success by building his own business, was sentenced to a prison term, with a period of exile to follow. All his possessions were confiscated as part of this verdict.
