Iran Sentences Baha'is to Prison

From the Washington Post

The Associated Press
Tuesday, January 29, 2008; 11:27 PM

TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran on Tuesday said more than 50 followers of the minority Baha'i faith were convicted of distributing propaganda against the country's Islamic regime, state media reported.

Ali Reza Jamshidi, Iran's judiciary spokesman, said three people, who were in custody in southern city of Shiraz, were sentenced to four years in prison. Another 51 Baha'i followers were given one-year suspended prison terms, Jamshidi said, according to the official IRNA news agency.

Last year, Baha'i communities abroad had reported that a group of followers were detained in Shiraz, located about 550 miles south of Tehran, while helping poor communities there.

Iran had been the cradle of the Baha'i faith in the middle of the 19th century. But the faith was banned after the 1979 Islamic revolution, and it is not recognized in the Iranian constitution as a religious minority.

The Baha'i faith was founded in the 1860s by a Persian nobleman, Baha'u'llah, who claimed to be a new prophet in the series of prophets that included Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. Islam considers Muhammad to be the last of the prophets.

A Celebration of Heresy:
Critical Thinking for Islamic Reform

We are pleased to invite you to participate in a conference in Atlanta, GA, USA, entitled "A Celebration of Heresy: Critical Thinking for Islamic Reform". This title is to emphasize that we seek to promote our commitment to accept dissent and disagreement, especially when we strongly disagree with the views of others, as a necessary pre-requisite for genuine and effective reform. We celebrate heresy and dissent not as ends in themselves, but in order to enable and promote innovative and critical thinking.

This conference convenes 28-30 March, 2008, at the Holiday Inn Select Atlanta Perimeter ( www.hiatlantaperimeter.com), 4386 Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Atlanta Georgia 30341, phone 770-457-6363; fax 770-458-5282 . You can find more information about the subject, themes and organizers of this conference at www.hereticmuslims.com

The conference is organized by a group of Muslim intellectuals who share commitment to the values of pluralism, democracy and respect for human rights. While the organizers and all participants in this conference have different political and intellectual affiliations, this conference will be strictly non-partisan in its objectives and implementation. The shared agenda of all organizers and participants is the sustained and effective promotion of innovative and critical thinking about all issues facing Muslims throughout the world.

This conference is funded by the participants themselves who will cover their own travel and accommodation expenses, in addition to a registration fee of $105. This fee covers all meals, from dinner the evening of Friday March 28, to lunch on Sunday March 30. We have also negotiated a room rate of $75.00/night for participants.

Please note that we must receive by 15th March 2008 your registration information and fee of $100 for the expenses noted above. This is necessary for practical reasons, including arrangements for all meals, meeting space and related expenses.
