Thanks for sharing that..

There are some suggestions for action:

What can we do?

Take action on behalf of the Baha’is in Iran with resolutions introduced in the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Contact your U.S. senators. Ask them to demonstrate support for the Baha’is in Iran by co-sponsoring Senate resolution S.Res.80, condemning the continued persecution by the Iranian government. Find out who is a co-sponsor and then call your senators’ Washington offices or send an email (find contact info) asking them to co-sponsor or thanking them for already having done so.

Contact your U.S. representative. Ask him or her to demonstrate support for the Baha’is in Iran by co-sponsoring H.Res.134, condemning the continued persecution by the Iranian government.
