Our Baha’i site on BBC Persian

July 19th, 2007Esra'a (Bahrain)

The Muslim Network for Baha’i Rights has been very well received, and only weeks after its launching it makes its first media appearance on BBC Persian:

تشکیل گروهی مسلمان برای دفاع از حقوق بهائیان

We are extremely thankful for everyone who expressed support for our cause, which we consider a very important one. Despite the controversy this is raising from certain readers, who insist that we are Zionist spies, we will continue to lead this campaign as Muslims and as defenders of individual freedom.

To our Baha’i friends, you shall continue to have our consistent support. We are here for you. We’ll do our best to ensure your rights.
