There has been no persecution of the Baha'is in Iran. Those 200+ Baha'is who were executed via revolutionary justice between the years of 1979-1985 got exactly what they deserved because of 1) the close proximity of the Baha'i administration and community to the previous regime with its gangster cronyism, 2) the guilt of those people in a litany of economic crimes under the previous regime, 3) the intimate ties and proximity of the Baha'i administration and individuals with the governments of Israel, the United Kingdom and the United States, 4) continued espionage by the Baha'is against the interests of the Iranian state and 5) failing to disband the Baha'i administration with its public activities when they had made unequivocal undertakings to do so. 

Now, the Haifan Baha'is claim that there are 200,000 to 300,000 Baha'is in Iran. They have claimed such a number since 1979. How do you have persecution when not even 1% of that number has been officially tallied as persecuted? Please use your head and quit repeating parrot tales and swan songs of yesteryear the Baha'is may have gotten your sympathy with at the time. Kindly bury this persecution myth.
