<p>We are aware of reports that Iran's Baha'i community are being prevented from obtaining
identity cards under new rules, depriving them of accessing many basic services. We
remain concerned about the continued harassment and mistreatment that the Baha'i and
other minority religious groups face. We support the UN Special Rapporteur on the
Situation of Human Rights in Iran's assessment that discrimination against the Baha'is
in Iran is sanctioned by a lack of constitutional recognition. We regularly call upon
Iran to cease harassment of all religious minorities and to fulfil its international
and domestic obligations to protect freedom of religion or belief to all Iranians.</p>
