Persecution of non-Muslims in Iran

From WikiIslam

According to the Marze Por Gohar party:

According to the Islamic Constitution of Iran, Christians, Jews and Zoroastrians have certain limited rights and all other non-Muslims have no rights at all. The Baha’i religion, the largest non-Muslim religion in Iran is considered illegal and according to Iranian laws, even the killers of Bahaii individuals cannot be prosecuted. Hundreds of Baha’is have been officially executed in Iran and many others have been brutally and ritually murdered.
