A/HRC/37/68/Add.1 Eight boards and the national-provincial mediators are supervised by the friends of Iran. All eight boards have direct influence over the students who are members of this organization. These students receive directions from Baha’i city officials, and city officials receive directions from provincial officials who are in turn supervised by national-provincial mediators. Some of the hierarchical orders relating to educational issues contradict their citizenship rights. Unfortunately, it is quite normal to enquire and enforce beliefs in the organization of the Baha’i sect; such that if a Baha’i chooses Islamic teachings for the religion test, he/she will be put under organizational pressure to choose between continuing his/her education or being deprived of the Baha’i sectarian advantages. Once again, it is brought to attention that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s educational centers, as in other countries, are obliged to implement rules and regulations. If individuals, regardless of their religion, sect and belief, respect those laws and observe them, no one will have the right to exercise the slightest persecution against them. Otherwise, however, in order to ensure the observation of and respect for the rights of others, punishments have been determined for the violators and offenders. On the other hand, it is noteworthy that paragraph 3 of article 18 of the International Convention on Civil Political Rights stipulates that: “freedom to express one’s religion or beliefs cannot be limited unless what are exclusively predicted by law which are necessary in order to maintain public security, order, health or morality or the basic freedoms and rights of others”. Also based on article 19 of the mentioned convention, freedom of belief and expression are conditioned by respecting the rights and dignity of others as well as protecting public order and security or public morality or health. Despite the official announcement by competent judicial authorities regarding the dissolution of the illegal Baha’i organization, some Baha’is are still performing activities, influenced by the dissolved organization. These people carry out provocative and illegal organizational activities and propagations in Iran’s universities which are against the regulations of Iran’s higher education system. Those Baha’i students who observe educational regulations are put under pressure by the illegal Baha’i organization. They are administratively and spiritually expelled and deprived of family relations, as it has been done about “BehnooshSabeti” and tens of other Baha’is. Also a considerable number of these students are forced to give up attending the university, which was the case with Ms. “Sara NaddafianGhamsari”. It is evident that these are small instances of the clear violation of citizenship rights and imposing sectarian policies by the Baha’i organization. G: International documents confirming the good economic situation of Baha’is in Iran: As was mentioned, the economical situation of Baha’is is completely the opposite of what has been stated in the allegations. Additional to official reports, some international institutions have approved their appropriate conditions; including a report which was presented to the committee on implementation of the standards of the ninety seventh international conference on labor (page 90 of the recorded report of the committee’s negotiations (19 Part II/90) contains the following): The ILO technical assistance mission in 2007 had had an opportunity to meet a member of the Baha’i community who was a successful businessperson in the high-tech sector. Many of the circulars regarding the Baha’I that had been mentioned were fabrications; others had been repealed. Considering the firm resolution of Iran’s government regarding the realization of human and legal rights of all Iranians, particularly in implementation of provisions of the obligations relating to convention number 111, it has decided to take a step toward recognizing the legal obstacles to the aforesaid arrangements in order to modify them and guarantee their implementation, with the help of experts of the three powers. The government has prepared the bill of the law on comprehensive prohibition of discrimination in employment and education, so that it would go through the process of ratification after receiving expert advices. This issue was reported to the International Labor Organization by the representative of the government and it was noticed in page 91 of the report (19 Part II/91) in the summary, conclusions and enactments of the committee. Furthermore, the list of 77 Baha'is, allegedly listed in the annex was examined, and a considerable number of them were unidentified due to the lack of references to the details, and number of them have been prosecuted for offenses such as membership in the illegal organization and propagation in favor of the organization, a number of them are sued by private plaintiffs and a significant number of them are now free. The report, with a false sum up of 77, seems to have sought to create a false sense of prejudice on their situation, and the 32
