As an educator in Canada, I find this oppression particularly repugnant. Shame on the Iranian government; they are making a mockery of Mohammed's beautiful teachings regarding acceptance of other religions and peoples! I too have read the Koran, and the Bible, and the Baha'i sacred writings... It saddens me to hear of this continued oppression in Iran of the Baha’is, especially students.

It's obvious to me that the way Iran is doing this is to send applicants back to a Byzantine maze of bureaucracy, to fake the reality [and hopefully cloak it], so they can say to the world "We're not mistreating them physically, we've just sighted a discrepancy in their records." My hopes and prayers are with these students, whatever their ranking.
