Bahai Home and Workplace Raided in Shiraz

HRANA News Agency – On January 19, agents from the Ministry of Intelligence raided the workplace and then the home of Mr. Hasan Salehi in Shiraz.

According to the report of Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA), they had a search warrant for both properties. The officers said that he was suspected of propaganda against the regime and membership of an illegal organisation.

When Mr. Salehi’s family protested the seizure of some Bahai materials, the officers said they were required to collect anything relating to Bahai beliefs, because it was a baseless sect, and anything relating to any family member.

In the end, the agents seized a large number of books, pamphlets, photographs and other religious materials, and a desktop computer, from the house.

At Mr. Salehi’s workplace they seized accounting, tax and administrative records and computers and even some letters of appreciation from customers.
