          ‘We, p I listS In Iranian and islamk studIes, protest the han flg
          •of 16 Bahá'f s, jnc ludiflg seven women and thi ee teen age girls,bY the authorities
          of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the city of ShiraZ on: June 16 and 18, 1983.
          The iranian Bahá'fS have repeatedlY expressed and demonstrated their loyalty to Iran.
          nevertheleSS, they have been systemat 1 C Y persecuted for th mere fact
          that they adhere to a religion other than Islam. Such persecution and these cruel
          and unjUSt execUtioflS seem to us a contradiction of all that is best in the traditions
          of i lan1 end the iranian people.. . .
