The life story of Mona (Mahmudnizhad), a 16 year old children classes teacher is a well known one amongst the Baha’is. Mona along with 9 other Baha’i women were executed by hanging for being Baha’is.

Despite efforts from the International community, the threat against the Baha’i in Iran continues to grow. Elsewhere, the Supreme Administrative Court of Egypt decided to heavily discriminate the Baha’is of that country because of their belief, and make non-citizens of an entire religious community.

It still seems so unbelievable that the Holocaust could take place in front of the eyes of the World, yet we have seen and continue to see similar type of start and if given the slightest room, the government of Iran (as well as other countries) would love to continue these persecutions and discriminations against the Baha’is.

A movie has been made, telling the story of the 9 courageous women who were executed and it will be produced this year. I am certainly very excited to see the final result. The website below gives you a better idea of this and the progress on the movie.
