Guilty As Charged!

If education is a crime, then I'm guilty as charged
This is a video made by a group of Baha'i youth in response to what is happening in Iran. Baha'is in Iran are barred from studying and teaching in universities simply because of their religious beliefs. Now their community-driven program to offer tertiary education to young people (the Baha'i Institute for HIgher Education) is under attack by the Iranian authorities, as well. Let the government of Iran know that neither education nor religious conviction is a crime. They must stop harassing the Baha'is, drop the conspiracy charges against the imprisoned BIHE faculty members and uphold the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (which Iran adopted in 1948) for all its citizens.
