After the Islamic Revolution, they wrote a letter to Mr. Dorri Najaf Abadi the public persecutor or the minister of intelligent service that we are 300 thousand people in Iran. In 1342 S.H., they didn&#8217;t have any increase or decrease by 62 percent. Then, they say we are being killed without trial. The basic question is that how many Baha&#8217;s were tried to be executed after the Revolution? Just the people of their assemblies were arrested as the spies of America and Israel; otherwise, there are many Baha\u2019is in Tabriz city now. Are these Baha&#8217;is killed? or imprisoned?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Baha&#8217;i studies: What is your opinion about pretending to be oppressed by the Baha&#8217;is?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Heydari: This is the Baha&#8217;is trick.

Everybody isn&#8217;t aware of their main nature. They say we are religious. We are not allowed to proselytize. Are you religious? There isn&#8217;t any similarity between religion and yours.

Since late Qajar dynasty, they disturbed our history.

Then, we succeeded to recruit two people after 10 days. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Or after the revolution, several ex-Baha\u2019is wrote their diaries.
