Despite compelling evidence that they never committed a crime, three Iranian Baha'is today begin their fourth year in captivity.

 

The two women, Haleh Rouhi and Raha Sabet – and Mr. Sasan Taqva – were arrested in May 2006, along with some 51 other Baha'is and a number of Muslim friends, for their participation in an education program for underprivileged children in and around the city of Shiraz.
