Persecution of Bahá'ís in Iran

If letters have been written in the past by faculty or administrators at your college, a return  visit would be appropriate at this time to inform them of the new developments as Baha’i students attempted to enroll into Iranian universities this year. You could ask faculty or administrators to speak out again.  The issue could also be placed within the wider context of the significant increased crackdown that the Iranian Baha’i community at large has experienced in recent months.  Contact information for the officials they may wish to write letters to can be accessed here

If letters have been written in the past to such officials by supporters and received no reply, a follow up letter could be in order; if a reply was received assuring some action on the part of the organization, then it would be appropriate at this time to ask for confirmation of steps taken.

Supporters could also be asked to write to local and national think tanks, research institutes, and non-governmental organizations, concerned with education, the rights of children, social development, and minority rights, encouraging them to take action on behalf of the Iranian Baha’i students. Information on such organizations can be found online or in local directories.
