The National Congress in Brasília, Brazil held a public hearing to address human rights violations against the Bahá’ís of Iran.
Those present observed a moment of silence to remember the 10 Bahá’í women who were hanged in Shiraz, Iran, 40 years ago by the Islamic Republic of Iran while holding images of the women.
This session was the second in a series of public hearings exploring the issue of social justice and transformation of culture with a cross-section of Brazilian society, organized by Brazil’s Bahá’í Office of External Affairs and government officials. The previous session in this series held at the National Congress was on the role of religion in promoting a shared identity among the diverse populations of the country through recognition of humanity’s spiritual nature. The event is part of the broader #OurStoryIsOne campaign which shed light on the continuing sacrifices made by Iranian women of every background in their pursuit of justice and gender equality. |
