Did you also see that prominent Iranian/Canadian (not-Baha'is) professors/scientists have issued today a strong statement and request to the UN Secretary-General?

It is much easier to commit cowardly acts when one is hidden behind a wall of silence and the news are known too late. Let’s hope that bringing this outrage under the world scrutiny will give pause to those perpetrating it. It is harder to maintain and defend one’s position when the majority of the world proves you wrong. Religion set aside there is a feeling among people that some acts defy simple decency and in spite of the fact that gross injustice still prevails in many countries, their circle is narrowing mainly because the world is watching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
