A documentary report tracing the persecution of Iran's Baha'i community from the faith's nineteenth century origins through the Islamic Republic era, built from named testimonies, contemporary press coverage and government records. Its account of the 1955 campaign is drawn from the period's own press and eyewitness record, including Sheikh Falsafi's broadcast Ramadan sermons and the military demolition of the Tehran Baha'i center, and is the report's single most detailed pre-revolutionary episode.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability TierA specialist human rights documentation center report built from named testimony, contemporary press and government sources rather than a peer-reviewed academic monograph; extensively cited in later scholarship and legal proceedings on Iran's treatment of the Baha'i minority, but an advocacy-adjacent NGO rather than an academic press.
