Baha'is Denied Higher Education In Iran

Tuesday December 30, 2008

Hundreds of followers of the Baha'i Faith in Iran found themselves once again without the national test scores needed to get into universities in that country. This is not the first time such an "error" has occurred. Reports say that students attempting to look up their scores were told by the system that their paperwork was not complete. Attempts to get this result changed appear to be falling on deaf ears.

Iran is largely a theocracy, where Islamic religious leaders hold a great deal of power. The country is officially denying any such conspiracy, but its lack of action on the matter speaks otherwise.
