Samira Ebrahimi, a Baha'i citizen, was summoned to Evin Prosecutor's Office

HRANA News Agency – Samira Ebrahimi, a Baha’i citizen, was summoned to Branch 2 of the Evin Prosecutor’s Office by a notice. Ms. Ebrahimi has been asked to appear at this branch within 10 days of the date of the notice.

According to HRANA News Agency, the news agency of the Human Rights Activists in Iran, Samira Ebrahimi, a Baha'i citizen, was summoned to Evin Prison through a notification.

Based on this notice, which was recently issued by Branch 2 of the Evin Prosecutor's Office and served on this citizen, Ms. Ebrahimi has been asked to appear at this branch within 10 days of the date of service.
Arsalan Yazdani, Mrs. Ebrahimi's husband, was also arrested by security forces in Tehran on September 10, and on October 15, he was temporarily released from Evin Prison after posting bail until the end of the trial.

Baha'i citizens in Iran are deprived of freedoms related to religious beliefs. This systematic deprivation occurs despite the fact that, according to Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, everyone has the right to freedom of religion and to change their religion with conviction, as well as the freedom to manifest it, either individually or in community with others and in public or in private.

According to unofficial sources, there are more than 300,000 Baha'i citizens in Iran, but the Iranian constitution only recognizes Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism, and does not recognize the Baha'i religion. For this reason, the rights of Baha'is in Iran have been systematically violated over the past years.
