  1. Alí Bastámí, Mullá, by Denis MacEoin (1985). Very brief article, short enough to qualify as "fair use."
  2. As sure as spring follows winter, better times are ahead, by Ted Slavin (2011). Seasonal spring can be a metaphor for spiritual spring: the renewal of faith. Bahá'ís celebrate both in the annual festival of Ridvan, and this April they will also be praying for the release of imprisoned Iranian Bahá'ís.
  3. Brief Account of the Bahá'í Movement, A, by Ethel J. Rosenberg (1911). An early overview of the Bahá'í Faith and its teachings, with compilation of quotations, published as a 28-page booklet.
  4. Bushrui, Hasan Foadi, by Fereydun Vahman (2015). Brief excerpt of a bio of the head of Bahá'í schools in Iran and Turkmenistan, with link to article offsite.

A newly uncovered letter by Āqā Siyyid Ḥusayn, the Báb’s amanuensis, reveals that the Báb was transferred to Tabríz during His confinement in Máh-Kú — a detail absent from established Bábí-Bahá’í histories; includes translation, and original Persian.
  6. Prison Memories of Mr. Amoui (Feb. 1984 - March 1989), by Ramezanali Amoui, Payman Amoui, trans. (1989). Memoirs of five years in an Iranian prison. Includes Persian original. The author's full name is not known — and the last name could be Amu'i — and the translator's name is not certain.
  7. Resistance, Resilience and the Role of Narrative: Lessons from the Experiences of Iranian Bahá'í Women Prisoners, by Donna Hakimian (2009-06). A study of Iranian Bahá’í women who were imprisoned in Iran following the 1979 revolution. Aspects of individual resistance and resilience are explored through life history interviews. Link to article (offsite).

  1. 1868-05-00
      Bahá'u'lláh sent Nabíl-i-A`zam Zarandi to Cairo to enquire after Hájí Mírzá Haydar-`Alí. He was instructed by Bahá'u'lláh to appeal to the officials for the release of several Bahá'ís who had been imprisoned in Cairo at the instigation of their enemies. He was thrown into prison in Cairo for two months and then in the Alexandria jail for a few more months. While there he befriended a Christian cellmate, Fáris Effendi, who soon becomes a Bahá'í. [BKG248, 265–8; EB268; GPB178; "Nabil-e aʿzam Zarandi, Mollā Mohammad," by Vahid Rafati, Encyclopædia Iranica]
    • See BKG265–8 for an account of Nabíl's arrest and imprisonment.
    • Fáris Effendi was probably the first Christian to become a Bahá'í. [RB3:10]
      • Lawh-i-Aqdas ("Most Holy Tablet," otherwise known as "The Tablet to the Christians" late 1870s?) is thought to have been addressed to Dr Fáris Effendi but this cannot be substantiated.
  2. 1891-05-25 — Two believers were arrested during the same period of intense persecution. Hájí Amín was sent to the prison of Qazvín, and Hand of the Cause Ibn-i-Abhar was consigned for four years in Tíhran, in which he bore the same chains as Bahá'u'lláh did, during the Latter's imprisonment in 1852.
