SOURCES and NOTES - Narration - Pt.2 - Bahai

And one last religious minority – the Bahais – the one religion officially not tolerated in the Islamic Republic.
This is their leadership, all of whom were recently busted and imprisoned by the Ministry of Intelligence.

About 200 Bahais, mostly leaders have been killed since the revolution.

The regime says they are conspiring with foreign enemies. The Bahais say they are being persecuted because they are considered apostates.

Unlike Jundallah, no one besides the Islamic regime has accused them of involvement in violence.
COMMENT: At least I have never found anything saying so.
