The violations of basic human rights, has brought all the peace loving , and freedom fighting Iranians together. All Iranians are working on this together. That is the beauty of it.Let us not forget that the Iranians have been experiencing these violations more so, in the past 30 years, however the Iranian Baha'is have been violated for more than 160 years, under all the regimes. The trial of these seven individuals has historical significance, as it pertains to a fundamental human rights issue, freedom of religion, which the Baha'is have been working towards since the Qajar dynasty and has been documented in Iranian history.Unless and until freedom of thought and religion is granted all, no government will survive in Iran. Let us not forget , Qurat-ul-ain, a follower of the prophet of Baha'is, who was the first woman documented in Iranian history, to start the women's rights movement and lost her life.
