The Bahá’í Faith has a following of over 300 000 local members in Iran, but the group is not recognized by their own government, who refers to them as a dangerous cult. This minority group is banned from operating within the borders of Iran, even though they are the largest religious minority group in the country. Perhaps that’s exactly why they get so much heat from authorities.
