Episode Details

A Baha’i man, Peyvand Naimi, has been jailed for over six months in Iran on false charges of killing security agents during protests — with his family saying no evidence exists and officials openly dismissing his case, even referencing his religion as justification. This is part of a sweeping crackdown targeting Baha’is since January, where dozens have been arrested, homes raided, and religious items destroyed — all amid a government campaign to scapegoat the faith to deflect blame and stoke fear during a time of crisis. Despite a judge ordering his release, Naimi remains imprisoned under brutal conditions, including solitary confinement — while state media paints Baha’is as spies and traitors, and the government remains silent on international calls for accountability.
