Holy Site Razed in Iran, Baha'is Say


Government authorities in Iran have destroyed a Baha'i holy site, the Baha'i International Community has learned.

The gravesite of Quddus, a prominent figure in early Baha'i history, has been razed to the ground, despite protests from Baha'is at the local, national, and international levels. "The destruction and desecration of this holy place was carried out with the knowledge of the national government to which appeals had been made beforehand," said Bani Dugal, the principal representative of the Baha'i International Community to the United Nations.
