Six imprisoned Bahá’ís freed in Yemen
The Bahá’í International Community has confirmed that six prominent Bahá’ís have been released from prison after being wrongfully detained for several years by the Houthi authorities in Sana’a, Yemen.
The six Bahá’ís are now in a safe location where they can recuperate after enduring extremely difficult conditions for three to nearly seven years in prison.
Following these releases, the Bahá’í International Community has called for the lifting of all charges against these six individuals and the other Bahá’ís charged, the return of their assets and properties, and, most importantly, the safeguarding of the rights of all Baha’is in Yemen to live according to their beliefs without risk of persecution.
Collections of prayers, readings and inspirational materials to use in devotional gatherings and inspire elevated conversation and action have recently been published on the topics of Recharging the Soul and Reframing Disintegration.
