          NA'ARIV
          24 May, 19.83
          BAR T LEADERS THANK REAGAN, WHO CALLED FOR SPARING THE LIVES
          OF THE NEMBERS OF THEIR FAITH IN IRAN
          The world centre of members of the Faith, which is in Haifa,
          yesterday welcomed the call of President Reagan to prevent the
          execution of 22 members of the persecuted sect by the revolutionary
          Islamic authorities in Iran.
          The regime of the Ayatollah Khomeini accuses the Bah ' s of
          connections with Zionism and deprives them of freedom of religion,
          even though the Islamic Republic of Iran recognizes Judaism,
          Christianity and the Zoroastrian Faith.
          “We were pleasantly surprised by the declaration of the
          President of the United States. We welcome this as evidence of
          the awakening of conscience among the leaders of the world against
          the persecution of the Bah ' s of Iran”, declared the Centre.
