Iran’s Denial of Higher Education to Bahá’ís

• Since 1979, the government of Iran, as part of a larger strategy of persecution,
  has systematically deprived the 300,000 Bahá’ís there of higher education.
  
  
• The denial of education is based entirely on religious discrimination.
  Their goal is the ultimate destruction of the Bahá’í community in Iran.
  
  
• The situation in Iran represents perhaps the only case where the human right
  to education is being intentionally denied to an entire group of people.
