A Bahá'í Perspective: Parivash Rohani

Parivash left Iran in 1979 coincident with the inauguration of the Islamic Revolution in that country. Parivash describes how difficult it was for her to live in her country as a Baha'i. What pushed her over the edge to leave was the burning down of her family home by arsonists and not being allowed to attend university. She returned to Iran 30 years later and was amazed how much the country had changed in those 30 years. One of her missions while there was to find out how the Baha'is are doing under the oppression of the current regime. She committed herself to present to folks here in the States the situation of the Baha'is in Iran. I met Parivash when she was in my area making this presentation.
