International condemnation has intensified against Iran for its treatment of the Baha'i minority, with several human rights organizations and media outlets labeling the decades-long systematic repression as a 'crime against humanity.' Reports highlight the Iranian authorities' arbitrary arrest and imprisonment of Baha'is, confiscation of property, and restrictions on educational and employment opportunities since the Islamic revolution of 1979. Human Rights Watch specifically pointed out the 'intentional and severe deprivation of fundamental rights,' underscoring the gravity of the persecution faced by the Baha'i community.
