They were executed on a charge of treason. [Archives of the Bahá'í Persecution in Iran]
Some 19 years later on the anniversary of their martyrdom some 500 souls gathered at Golestan Yazd and circled around the place of martyrdom. The gathering was arranged by the Bahá'í community of Yasd and the relatives of these seven martyrs were special quests.
