Listen to BBC interview with cousin of arrested Iranian Baha’i

This week’s Reporting Religion on the BBC World Service (25 May 2008) includes an interview with a UK Bahá’í whose cousin is one of the Bahá’í leaders recently arrested in Iran.

On Reporting Religion this week we examine what life is like in Iran if you follow the Baha’i faith. We hear from one woman whose cousin is in jail because she’s a Baha’i. Plus we hear from the BBC’s Religious Affairs Correspondent, Frances Harrison, who explains why Iran takes such a strict stance on Baha’is.

The interview is right at the beginning of the programme. Visit the site and listen soon. Once next week’s programme has been broadcast, this week’s one will be removed.
