Mona's Essay

In early 1980's, several Bahais including women and teenage girls, were imprisoned because of their faith by the Islamic Revolutionary authorities in Iran. The prisoners endured months of abuse, interrogation and torture as the Islamic judges and their revolutionary guards attempted to force them to deny their religion. All refused.
Particularly shocking was the execution of ten of the women who were Bahai childrens school teachers. They were secretly sentenced to death by hanging on June 18, 1983. In a final effort to break their wills, the authorities hanged the women one by one as the others were forced to watch.
The youngest was a beautiful sixteen year old girl named Mona.. While Mona was still in high school, she wrote an essay protesting the persecution of her familys Bahai faith.
