Foreign Policy Association’s Interview with Gissou Nia on the Treatment of the Baha’i
To commemorate the fifth anniversary of the imprisonment of seven Baha’i Leaders in Iran, the Baha’i International Community has launched a campaign – “Five Years Too Many” – calling for the immediate release of seven Baha’i leaders and all prisoners of conscience in Iran. This is part of a global campaign that will run from May 5 to May 15.
Gissou Nia, the Executive Director of Iran Human Rights Documentation Center (IHRDC) based in Connecticut, sat down with the Foreign Policy Association (FPA) to discuss human rights and in particular the living conditions of the Baha’i community in today’s Iran. In recent years, IHRDC has published numerous reports that document the discrimination against the Baha’i community in Iran. You can read the full interview here.
