Australia's Baha’i community is seeking to highlight the persecution of members of their faith in Yemen. Iran-backed Houthi rebels who control northern parts of Yemen have charged up to 24 members of the faith with criminal charges including a faith leader, Hamed Bin Haydara ((HY-dah-rah)), who's currently fighting a death sentence.
