54 Baha'i Youth Arrested in Iran

NEW YORK, 24 May 2006 (BWNS) -- Iranian officials have arrested 54
Baha'is in the city of Shiraz, the Baha'i International Community has
learned. They are mostly youth and were all engaged in humanitarian
service when they were arrested. It is one of the largest number of
Baha'is taken at once since the 1980s. The specific charges are not
clear, though in the past, Baha'is have been arrested summarily on false
charges.
