You might recall that the religious leadership in Iran, with formal authority within the government of Iran, had sent out a secret letter detailing that Baha'is should be kept track of in October 2005. This letter had been discovered by a UN official March 2006. The Anti-Defamation League said the orders issued in the 29 October letter were “reminiscent of the steps taken against Jews in Europe ".
Well there's a new letter. Dated August 16th, another secret letter was sent and leaked by November. It's far more detailed about what the Iranian government is to do with the "the perverse sect of Bahaism" - a copy of the cover letter can be read
here.
This letter and it's survey asks provincial deputies of the Department of Politics and Security in Offices of the Governors’ General to order “relevant offices to cautiously and sensitively monitor and supervise” all Baha'i social activities about the circumstances and activities of local Baha'is, including their “financial status,” “social interactions,” and “association with foreign assemblies,” and asks for information on the ‘socio-political activities’ of Baha'is – even though it is well known to authorities that Baha'is are entirely non-political in their activities in every country, inasmuch as the Baha'i sacred writings stress the importance of non-involvement in partisan politics, as well as non-violence. The news is covered by the
Baha'i UN representatives to the UN (who are one of many NGOs represented there.)
