O savali tete’e na faia e fa’asaga i le malo Isalama i Iran i le amataga o le tausaga nei, na tuleia ai le mau mo sa’olotoga ma aiā tatau a tagata, ae miase le tulaga o loo solipalaina ai aiā a le itupa o tinā ma tama’ita’i i Iran.

Peita’i ua avea lea ma mafua’aga o le sauāina ai e le malo Isalama o nisi o tagatanu’u o Iran e lē o ni Moselemi. O se tasi o tapua’iga o loo aupito sauāina ai o le Fa’atuatuaga Baha’i.

O se tasi na auai i savali tete’e nei i le laumua o Tehran, o le alii o Peyvand Naimi, o ia e mulimuli i le Fa’atuatuaga Baha’i. Na fa’aalia e lona tau usoga o Emilia Nazari, o loo aumau nei i Melbourne, le tulaga na saisaia ma molia ai o ia.

"He was subjected to continuous torture for three days. He was physically beaten ... And he's been subjected to mock executions. All of this because they're trying to get him to confess to things that he has not done."

Na ta’ua e Emilia moliaga lē fa’avaea o loo molia ai Peyvand, e aofia ai tu’ua’iga o lona fasiotia o ni leoleo security a le malo Isalama.

"False accusations that he's been involved in the death of three security forces. It's impossible for him to have committed that offence because at the time of the alleged deaths, he was already in detention."

Na saunoa Daniela Gavshon, le fa’atonu o le Human Rights Watch Australia, ua molimauina le si’itaga i le aofa’i o tagata Baha’i e sauāina i Iran ona o lo latou fa’atuatuaga.

"We are seeing an intensified crackdown on Baha'i citizens in Iran. We saw it after the June conflict with Israel, we've seen a lot of people charged, as, you know, alleged spies or conspirators with the state of Israel, and we certainly are seeing that same narrative being pushed again."

E tusa ma le 300,000 tagatanu’u i Iran o loo mulimuli i le Fa’atuatuaga Baha’i. Na saunoa Awa Momtazian, o le Australian Baha'i e tusa ma le 20,000 tagata o le Fa’atuatuaga Baha’i i Ausetalia, o le to’atele na sa’ili lafitaga mai ona o sauāga a le malo Isalama i Iran.

"It has included executions. It included forced confessions. It's included, harassment, torture, the denial of livelihoods ... Access to higher education ... All of this has been, attempts by the Iranian authorities to coerce the Baha'is, to abandon their beliefs."
