"My feet were swollen from lashes." Section 209 Episode 2

section 209 is in evin prison, tehran, iran, where 7 Baha'is were held captive for over 2 years.

in august (2010) they were each sentenced to 20 years in prison.

They were held in Evin for around 2 years in section 209, evin prison (tehran, iran), and in September (2010) from international pressure, their sentence was reduced to 10 years. Our aim is to have them, and all Baha'is in prisons across Iran, released immediately.

The 7 Friends have been moved to Gohardasht prison in Karaj -- a burden to their families who now have to travel outside Tehran to see them.

section 209 is a social media campaign with the aim to advocate the release of Baha'is imprisoned in Iran.

mr sabeti was imprisoned 3 times in mashad, iran for being a Baha'i.

he was tortured, beaten, interrogated, and threatened with execution.

he survived, escaped, and is lucky to be alive today to share his story.

since the beginning of the Baha'i Faith in 1844, over 20,000 people in Iran have been killed and many more persecuted.

spread the word...

Very nicely done! This is a message that needs to be heard. Human rights violations need to become a central focal point of the dialogue regarding Iran. Blessings to the Baha'i and all enduring oppression inside Iran.
