14 The Canadian Statesman 'TüuAàUei, Bowmanville, Saturday, April 10,1993 United Nations Report Reveals Confidential Iranian Document A United Nations report released in Geneva on 22 February provides startling new evidence that the Iranian Iranian Government, despite a long history history of denials, has established a secret plan approved by Iran's highest- ranking officials to oppress and persecute persecute the 350,000-member Baha'i community in Iran. "The Iranian government has circulated circulated a detailed blueprint designed to destroy the Baha'i Community" Reginald Newkirk, Secretary-General of the Canadian Baha'i Community, said today. " In his report to the U.N. Commission Commission on Human Rights Special Representative Representative Professor Galindo Pohl points out that the Iranian plan spe cifically states "that the progress and development of the Baha'is shall be blocked", that "employment shall be refused to persons identifying themselves themselves as Baha'is", that "university studies are beyond their reach and they are denied access to public office." office." The plan indicates that Baha'is are to be expelled from schools" if they identify themselves as Baha'is. " The new U.N. report cites several recent recent official Iranian 1 documents which show specific examples of such discrimination against individual individual Baha'is.

Attempts to eliminate eliminate the Baha'i community through widespread confiscation of properties, properties, ban on all community activities and expulsion of Baha'is from universities universities and employment in the public public sector failed in part because the international community became aware of systematic persecutions of Baha'is. "The intended effect of this new policy appears to be to create an environment environment where the Baha'i community community of Iran can be slowly strangled without arousing international attention," attention," said Mr. Techeste Ahderom, senior representative to the United Nations for the Baha'i International Community. Speaking in Toronto Mr. Newkirk pointed out that "this recently revealed revealed plan not only codifies the oppressive oppressive actions which the Iranian government has 1 taken against Baha'is since 1979, but it sounds a new and ominous note." Mr. Newkirk Newkirk noted renewed executions and confiscation of property during the past year after some easing of the systematic persecutions in the late eighties. The text of the Iranian government government document states that official policy "regarding the Baha'i question" question" was written by the leading body responsible for assuring doctrinal purity, and was approved by both president Hashemi Rafsanjani and Ayatollah Ali Khamenie, Khomeini's successor as supreme leader. Of immediate concern to Baha'is in Canada is the fact that the Iranian government document calls for a plan "to confront and destroy" the Baha'i "cultural roots" outside Iran. Mr. Newkirk pointed out that "while this may be difficult since the Baha'i community is now established in more countries of the world than all other religions except Christianity*, the 25,000 Canadian Baha'is will obviously obviously be concerned." There has, in fact, been a recent upsurge in attacks on Baha'is in Persian-language papers papers published outside Iran. Mr. Newkirk deplored the fact that Baha'is in Iran could not receive passports in order to leave Iran and attend the recent gathering of close to 30,000 Baha'is in New York City in November. "Baha'i is a religion known for its teachings on the oneness of the human human race, the elimination of prejudice, prejudice, the equality of the sexes and the essential harmony of faith and reason. reason. The five million Baha'is around the world also love Iran, the country of the religion's birth. It is a tragedy that in the home of its birth the Baha'i religion - even as it teaches obedience to government and respect for Islam along with the world's other other great religions - faces such systematic systematic repression from the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran," commented Mr. Newkirk. * Documented in the Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Britannica, 1992; World Christian Encyclopedia, 1982.
