Report Appears To Clear Three Baha'is Imprisoned In Iran
On Friday, Baha'i World News Service said that a confidential report issued in June by an Iranian investigator clears a group of Baha'is who were arrested in Shiraz, Iran in 2006. The investigation leading to the report was apparently undertaken at the request of Iranian provincial authorities. The report concludes that that the Baha'is were engaged solely in humanitarian work and were not teaching the Baha'i Faith. Three of the Baha'is are still being held in prison by Iranian authorities.
