Sequel to Persepolis exposes the reality of the suffering of the Baha'is in Iran since the Revolution and until today, and calls for action on their behalf. Note: The images for this clip were borrowed from Marjan Satrapi's film "Persepolis", an admirable work which serves as inspiration to us all.

For the past 30 years, followers of the Bahai Faith in Iran have been lynched, falsely imprisoned, vilified and driven out of their homes. Bahai children have been deprived of their right to an education, adults have been prevented from earning a livelihood and thousands of families had their properties illegally confiscated by the government.But the Iranian regime would have us believe that its the innocent party in these circumstances. It continues to deny that it harbors any intentions to eradicate the Bahai community, while employing all possible means to slander and denigrate the memories of its victims. We need to fight for their human rights.
