After 4 years of imprisonment for educating Baha’is, 4 faculty members of the Baha’i Institute for Higher Education (BIHE) were finally released
In May 2011, a coordinated raid of Baha’i communities occurred over the path of several Iranian cities. The raid was conducted to catch those attempting to give the youth of the Baha’i community the privilege of higher education, a right that has been deprived of them since the Islamic Revolution. During the raid, 17 or more were arrested in connection to the Baha’i Institute for Higher Education. The trials were held between September and October that same year, releasing undocumented verdicts while the Baha’i were handcuffed with chains around their ankles. Recently, four of the imprisoned were released: Noushin Khadem, Ramin Zibaie, Mahmoud Badavam and Farhad Sedghi. Transcripts of the trial dictate that they were imprisoned for being members of “the deviant Bahaist sect with the goal of taking actions against the security of the country”, as well as “collaboration with the Baha’i Institute for Higher Education.”
