This story has a personal meaning for me because my boss' brother, Jamal Khanjani, is one of the imprisoned Baha'i leaders in Iran.
Shirin Ebadi, the lawyer for all 7, had her office ransacked and closed down by the Mullahs, and there is speculation that she may also be arrested soon.
Jamal was originally charged with blowing up a mosque, killing scores of worshipers. After it was found out that a member of Iran's army had done it, that man was arrested, but many feel that he was just a pawn in a black flag operation done by the Iranian government in order to execute the baha'i leadership in Iran. 20 years ago, the entire Baha'i leadership was executed by the Mullahs, and now it may happen again.
They could very well be executed now. They finally go to trial in front of the Mullahs next week, and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for all 7. The charges?
1) They are spies for Israel.
2) They committed acts of propaganda against the government.
3) They insulted Islam.
No evidence of any kind has been brought against them, and these charges are just as trumped up as the original charges of terrorism and murder, which were most likely committed by the Iranian government itself.
If you would like, I would appreciate your sending an email to the White House. If you do, then you have my undying appreciation. Please use the following heading if you do send an email:
Baha'i Leadership to be Assassinated
Since the word "assassinated" is in the heading, your email will become a priority for Obama staffers to read.
I would appreciate any help on this that you are able to give. Thank you.
Jamal is the one in back, in the middle.
