To all believers in the United Kingdom
Dearly loved friends,
As you know the seven Bahá’ís in Iran, formerly known as the ‘Yarán’, who have been unlawfully imprisoned since 2008, recently entered their tenth year of incarceration. The National Spiritual Assembly is grateful to all of the friends who have been supporting a campaign via social media, bringing attention to the plight of these friends and calling for their immediate release.
We are now pleased to inform you that, here in the United Kingdom, the Office of Public Affairs has brought various artists together to participate in the ‘Prison Poems Project’, a series of short video clips that give voice to the poems of Mrs. Mahvash Sabet, one of the seven prisoners.
You can read more about the Project here.
The videos are available to view on the Office of Public Affairs YouTube channel, here. We warmly encourage you to share these videos via your Facebook pages and other social media.
With loving Bahá’í greetings,
Patrick O’Mara,
Secretary
