Iran: Persecution of Bahais is a “crime against humanity,” says HRW. The human rights organization believes that the country's largest non-Muslim minority has been subjected to decades of systematic persecution.
Bahaism is a monotheistic religion founded at the beginning of the 19th century in Iran. Its spiritual center is in the Israeli city of Haifa, which regularly causes its followers to be accused of being agents of Israel, a country hated by Tehran.
