US again accuses Iran of persecuting Baha'i communityA spokesman for the US State Department referred to the recent house raids and the arrest of more than thirty Iranian Baha'is associated with a Baha'i education network as the latest evidence of Iran's restrictions on the religion. The some three-hundred-thousand Baha'is living in Iran are the country's largest religious minority. Teheran denies any persecution but refuses to recognise the faith which it regards as a heresy.
