Last Friday, the U.S. House of Representatives Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission held a hearing on
The Worsening Plight of Religious Minorities in Iran. In its background statement, the Commission says:
Since the beginning of 2012, there has been an increase in the arrest, imprisonment and killing of religious and cultural minorities in Iran – particularly Christians, Baha’is and Sufi Muslims.
Transcripts of the testimony of the five witnesses appearing before the Commission are available on the
Commission's website.
