The Persecution of the Baha'i Faith in Iran

The Baha'i faith is the ninth largest religion in the world with about 7 million followers worldwide. From being largely confined to Iran the largest communities of the faith are now in India and Sub-Saharan Africa. There are also significant communities in North and South America like in the United States for example. But it isn't all sunshine and rainbows as some people including members of Baha'u'llah's family have been excommunicated from the religion.
