Iranian authorities have arrested 10 women from the Bahai community in a series of home raids, according to the Bahai International Community. The women were reportedly subjected to invasive searches and face charges related to their participation in 'deviant' educational and propaganda activities. The raids are seen as part of escalating repression against the Bahai community, one of Iran's largest non-Muslim religious minorities. The Bahai International Community has condemned the arrests as a senseless act against innocent women who were simply serving their local communities.
