Aside from the oppresion of Christians and anti semitic rhetoric in Iran this was noted in the State Dept. Report:

The State Department report notes that over the past year the Baha段 community, the largest non-Muslim religious group in Iran, experienced increasing persecution. Baha段s were not allowed to teach or practice their faith, and their religious tenets were condemned on government-controlled radio and television broadcasts. More than seventy Baha段s were arrested and more than two dozen are still in prison. Public and private universities continued to deny admittance to or expel Baha段 students. In addition, the Iranian government repeatedly pressured Baha段s to accept relief from mistreatment in exchange for recanting their religious beliefs.

Pressure is on Baha'is to recant their Faith.
