Informed sources told Radio Farda that ten Baha’i women sentenced to lengthy prison terms by the First Branch of the Isfahan Revolutionary Court, presided over by Mohammadreza Tavakoli, endured various forms of “psychological torture” and “threats of physical torture” during their detention.

According to information received by Radio Farda, these women were threatened with “rape, sexual assault, fingernail pulling, sitting on an electric chair, and being scalded with boiling water” while being interrogated in the Intelligence Office building in Isfahan.

On October 23, 2023, Radio Farda reported that Yeganeh Aghahi, Yeganeh Rouhbakhsh, Negin Khademi, Shana Shoghi-Far, Mozhgan Shahrzaei, Parastoo Hakim, Arezoo Sobhaniyan, Neda Badakhsh, Neda Emadi, and Bahareh Lotfi had been detained by security forces in Isfahan and, after about two months, were released from the women’s prison in Isfahan.

The Isfahan Revolutionary Court’s First Branch sentenced eight of these women to ten years in prison and a fine of 100 million tomans, while two others received five years and a fine of 50 million tomans. Additionally, they all received two-year bans on leaving the country and using social media.

Torture and Threats of “Rape and Death” During Interrogation

Radio Farda’s information reveals that interrogators in Isfahan’s Intelligence Office used items such as “mobile phones and interrogation papers” to strike the women’s heads and faces to force them into making confessions against themselves, other detained women, and even family members and friends.

Based on the information received, interrogators from the Isfahan Intelligence Office, on multiple occasions, showed detainees boiling water and threatened to throw it on their faces. Instead, they splashed the contents of a bottle of ice-cold water on their faces.

In some cases, the interrogators placed an “electric chair” in front of these women, warning them that if they did not confess to “dictated statements,” they would be forced to sit in it and receive “electric shocks.”

The women were also reportedly subjected to hearing “sounds of other women being tortured,” with one instance designed to make a detainee believe another woman had died under torture.

According to these audio files, during the separate transfers of these women from the Isfahan Women’s Prison (Dolatabad) to the Intelligence Office building for interrogation, and in the interrogation rooms, no female officers were present. Instead, two or three male officers repeatedly threatened these women with “harassment and even sexual assault” through their behavior.

Based on information obtained by Radio Farda, “a male interrogator would sometimes get so close to these women that they could even feel his breath.”

Additionally, during the interrogations, which often lasted “over 12 hours,” if these Baha’i women requested to change their clothes due to temperature changes, the interrogators forced them to change their clothes in front of them.

Psychological Trauma Remains

Informed sources reported to Radio Farda that nearly ten months after their temporary release, some of these women are still grappling with psychological trauma from “torture threats and detention.” Some have developed “post-traumatic stress disorder” (PTSD), experiencing anxiety, flashbacks, and nightmares triggered by daily sounds or events.

Accordingly, several of these women have developed “post-traumatic stress disorder” (PTSD). They continue to experience flashbacks to the interrogation and detention scenes when they hear loud noises or encounter excitement in daily life, leading to restlessness and nightmares.

“Post-traumatic stress disorder” can occur after direct experiences of death, death threats, rape, sexual harassment, and similar events. Despite treatment, it may persist with the affected person for life.

Informed sources told Radio Farda that one of these women lost “more than five kilograms” after her release and began “medication treatment nine months later to help her return to a normal life.”

Additionally, the intensity of the “torture threats” and interrogations during detention has left one of these women “terrified of hearing her full name,” as it brings back interrogation images.

Moreover, due to the pressures experienced in detention, this woman has developed “memory issues,” struggling to recall certain events and retain some information long-term.

Confiscation of Property for the “Fund for Muslims”

The First Branch of the Revolutionary Court, in its ruling against these women, has ordered the confiscation of their mobile phones, laptops, all digital devices, any jewelry and gold they possess, as well as any amount of U.S. and Australian dollars they have, “for the benefit of the Fund for Muslims.”

The court has also sentenced eight of these women to pay a fine of 100 million tomans each, and the other two to pay a fine of 50 million tomans each.

Additionally, at the time of detention, any property deeds found in these women’s homes were also confiscated.

A few months after their detention, representatives from the Execution of Imam Khomeini’s Order, which operates under Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, visited the family home of at least one of these women, whose deed had been seized, to inquire about the property’s ownership.

Ownership of many lands and properties confiscated from Baha’i citizens has been transferred to the Execution of Imam Khomeini’s Order Headquarters following confiscation by the Revolutionary Court.

Based on this, there is concern that, in addition to the seized assets, the Revolutionary Court is attempting to confiscate the homes of these citizens in favor of the mentioned Headquarters.

Last December, the Baha’i International Community reported that, two months prior, the Islamic Republic’s security forces had arrested “40 Baha’is” and searched the homes of “nearly one hundred Baha’i families” in various cities across Iran.

On August 1 of this year, 18 United Nations reporters and experts emphasized in a letter the intensifying persecution of Baha’i women in Iran, highlighting that they face double discrimination for being both “women and Baha’is.”

The authors of this letter described the Iranian government’s actions against Baha’i women as “systematic,” citing cases of arrests, summons for interrogation, disappearances, home searches of Baha’i women, property confiscations, travel restrictions, and extended detentions.

This past May, the Revolutionary Court in Isfahan sentenced an additional 15 Baha’i women to a total of 75 years in prison on charges of “promoting” Baha’i beliefs.

Despite the presence of 300,000 Baha’is in Iran, the Islamic Republic does not officially recognize the Baha’i faith. Iranian authorities have repeatedly labeled Baha’is as “spies and enemies,” issuing numerous rulings over the past four decades for executions, arrests, imprisonment, denial of education and business rights, and the destruction of homes and cemeteries of Baha’i followers.

“El mundo de la humanidad tiene dos alas: una es la mujer y la otra es el hombre. Hasta que ambas alas no se hayan desarrollado igualmente, el pájaro no podrá volar. [.. ] Hasta que el mundo de la mujer no llegue a ser igual al mundo del hombre en la adquisición de virtudes y perfecciones, no se podrá alcanzar el éxito y la prosperidad como debiera ser“

Abdu’l-Bahá

Abbás Effendi, conocido como Abdu’l-Bahá, fue un líder religioso nacido en Teherán en mayo de 1844, nombrado comendador de la Orden del Imperio Británico y cofundador junto con su padre del bahaísmo.

Durante su juventud adquirió cierta influencia del babismo un movimiento religioso que se consolidó en Persia de 1844 a 1852 y del que su padre era un miembro prominente.

Bahá Allah  padre de Abbàs Effendi, escindió el babismo en dos sectas al morir su fundador el religioso persa Bab, quien fue ejecutado en Tabriz en 1850.

Bahá Allah fue encarcelado por declararse defensor de la fé del Bab.

La aprehensión de Bahá Allah, marcó fuertemente la niñez de Abbàs y su familia, pues significó para ellos una vida condenada a la miseria y al desprecio como consecuencia. 

Durante algunos años el padre de Abbás es liberado y obligado a permanecer en el exilio y es en ese tiempo durante el año 1853 que Abbás y su padre emprenden el viaje obligado hacia Bagdad, y es durante ese viaje Abbás entra en contacto con textos babistas y el Corán.

En 1863, Bahá'u'lláh padre de Abbás es expulsado y movido a Constantinopla hoy Estambul, y mas tarde, ya como jefe segundo del bahaísmo, son expulsados a Edirne en Turquía y a Akka en la ahora Israel.

Es la gente de Akka quienes les ofrecen apoyo y les permiten rondar libremente las ciudades vecinas.

Al morir su padre, surgen conflictos con su hermano y Abbás viaja a Europa, Egipto y a los Estados Unidos para proclamar las enseñanzas de su padre e impulsar el desarrollo de las escasas comunidades que habían surgido en esas localidades.

Al adoptar el liderazgo del grupo religioso, Abbás adopta el nombre de Abdu’l-Bahá que significa “Sirviente de la Gloria”.

Abdu’l-Bahá dedicó su ministerio al avance de la Fé de su padre, y a la promoción de los ideales de paz y unidad, alentó el establecimiento de instituciones bahaís locales y guió las iniciativas educativas, sociales y económicas.

Muchas de sus conferencias fueron grabadas y publicadas en libros bajo los títulos de “la Sabiduría de Abdu’l-Bahá” y “La promulgación de La Paz universal”, mismas que sirvieron de base para la promulgación y consolidación de la comunidad mundial bahaí.

Durante la Primera Guerra Mundial Abdu’l-Bahá fue galardonado con la Orden del Imperio Británico por sus esfuerzos por disminuir la hambruna que sufría Palestina por medio de la repartición de su propio almacenamiento de grano.

En 1872, Abdu’l-Bahá se casa y tiene 5 hijos y 4 hijas de las cuales la mayor, se convertiría en la madre del futuro heredero de Abdu’l-Bahá, Shoghi Effendi.

Abdu’l-Bahá muere en noviembre de 1921, y sus restos descansan en las faldas del Monte Carmelo, en el santuario de Babi. En su testamento es en donde nombra a su nieto Shoghi Effendi como el guardian mundial de la fe Bahaí.

AI Shoghi 3

JP release: 18th December 1998

PAL release: N/A

NA release: N/A

Developer: i4 Corporation

Publisher: ASCII

N64 Magazine Score: N/A

The AI Shogi series had yearly releases from 1996 to 1998, each one being on a different platform: the 3DO, PlayStation and then N64. This one has one welcome feature that the previous N64 Shogi games didn’t, and that’s showing the moves each piece can make. It didn’t help me much for actually playing, as I still couldn’t quite tell how my opponents pieces would move.

This shogi game is very basic, though. The biggest visual thing is that you can change the background, and you can choose to play against player 2 or the CPU. The only additional feature is that you can edit the starting position of each piece, so I was able to play a match where my opponent only had pawns. I managed to get a stalemate which, unlike chess, meant that I won.

Remake or Remaster?

Clubhouse Games on Switch does the job.

If only the friends could realize it, the glory of our Faith is not that people with unique abilities do the work of the Cause, but that it is done by the sacrifice of loving and devoted souls who arise selflessly to undertake work they feel themselves incompetent, sometimes, to achieve. God works through them and endows them with gifts they did not dream they could ever possess. - Shoghi Effendi

World Religion Day  

World Religion Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in January every year, and is a reminder of the need for harmony and understanding between religions and faith systems. On this day, communities of different faiths have the opportunity to get together and listen to each other, as well as celebrate the differences and commonalities that the delicate intermingling of culture and religion brings. There are approximately 4,200 religions around the world. While many people live their lives without religion, faith in a higher being or power works for the majority of people. Whatever the reasons, we are all for the idea of people being unified despite differences, and celebrating them.

History of World Religion Day

The first official observance of World Religion Day (as it is known today), was in 1950, but the concept began a few years prior to that. In Portland, Maine, the National Spiritual Assembly of the Bahá’í Faith hosted a talk in Eastland Park Hotel in October 1947, culminating in the decision to observe an annual event, then known as World Peace Through World Religion. By 1949, the event began to be observed in other parts of the U.S. and grew more popular. By 1950, it came to be known as World Religion Day. On this day, at various different locations, many authors, educators, and philosophers are invited to speak on world religions and the importance of establishing and maintaining harmony between them. It’s a great forum for learning more about other religions and cultures too, and a chance to intermingle socially with people of different faiths and worldviews.

Since this concept was the brainchild of people from the Bahá’í Faith, it is worth exploring what this faith is and tracing its historical roots. As a religion, Bahá’í first emerged in Persia (modern-day Iran), in the 1800s. There are three core principles of this faith — unity of God, unity of religion, and unity of all mankind. It is a monotheistic faith, believing in a single god, and that the spiritual aspects of all religions in this world stem from this single god. Another central tenet is the belief in the innate equality of all human beings. Thus, all humans have the same rights and responsibilities. If you look at it, the Bahá’í Faith is an all-encompassing one that recognizes the commonalities between all religions, so Baháʼí believes that all faiths have common spiritual goals too, especially since religions are ever-evolving.

World Religion Day  timeline

1800s The Baha`i Faith is Established

In Persia, around 1844, the Bahá'í Faith is established by a mix of people from Christian, Jewish, and Zoroastrian religious roots.

1949 World Peace Through World Religion

The first event takes place in Portland, Maine, to establish the foundation of World Religion Day.

1950 World Religion Day is First Observed

As World Peace Through World Religion begins to spread across the U.S., the celebration morphs into World Religion Day.

1957 Bahá'í Leadership Passes on to a Group

Rather than passing on from individual to individual, the death of Shoghi Effendi leads to the faith leadership passing to the Universal House of Justice.

World Religion Day FAQs

How many religions are there in the world?

Many scholars estimate that there are approximately 4,200 different active religions in the world today.

How many countries celebrate World Religion Day?

World Religion Day is currently celebrated in over 80 countries around the globe.

Which religion has the most adherents?

Christianity tops the list, with a whopping 2,3 billion. Next comes Islam with 1,8 billion. Third on the list are those unaffiliated with any particular religion, at 1,2 billion.

How to Observe World Religion Day

Attend an interfaith event

Engage with other religions

Try out a different religious experience

Many different organizations hold interfaith events on this day, where people can get together and hear about the beliefs and philosophies held by others of different faiths. These events are great spaces for eminent speakers, writers, and spiritual leaders to share openly about what they subscribe to, and why.

World Religion Day provides the perfect opportunity for people to step out of their individual bubbles and engage with the beliefs and spiritual ideologies of others. It’s about dialogue and the freedom to both express and listen; most importantly, it’s a time to learn from each other. This day reminds us that religion does not have to be a taboo subject, and everyone has a unique story to tell.

Religion is often inextricably linked with culture, so why not experience the best of both by attending a religious event of some sort, outside of your own? Whether it is going to a mosque or temple, or celebrating a religious festival you are not familiar with, it’s a great way to make inroads into different community groups and build relationships.

5 Facts About World Religions You May Not Know

You name it, there’s a patron saint for it

Wicca is not an ancient religion

Mormons have limited beverage options

The “Qur’an” mentions Jesus more than Muhammad

Hindus can also be atheists

In Catholicism, there is a patron saint for nearly everything, including coffee, beekeepers, and headaches.

Though it sounds like it would be ancient, considering its roots in European fertility cults, Wicca was introduced in the 1950s.

Mormons are forbidden from drinking beverages like tea, coffee, or alcohol; soda, however, seems to be okay.

Though this is not a popularity contest, the “Qur’an” apparently mentions Jesus Christ five times more than Muhammad.

While Hinduism is a polytheistic religion, it is also possible to be a practicing Hindu and an atheist — the moral and ethical code remains the same.

Why World Religion Day is Important

It purports to unite people

Interfaith harmony

A chance to experience something different

We love any day that seeks to bring people together, irrespective of differences, and this day fits the bill exactly. Whatever one’s religious beliefs and culture, the longing for acceptance and unity will be a fundamentally human one that unites us already.

World Religion Day offers people across the globe a chance to get to know others of different religions better, and seeks to foster a better understanding of religious differences through peaceful means such as dialogue.

The various interfaith and religious events organized by communities around the world are an exciting opportunity and opening for people to immerse themselves in spiritual experiences different from what they know. And so much of it is cultural that we see it as a win-win.
