For the past 30 years, followers of the Bahai Faith in Iran have been lynched, falsely imprisoned, vilified and driven out of their homes. Bahai children have been deprived of their right to an education, adults have been prevented from earning a livelihood and thousands of families had their properties illegally confiscated by the government. But the Iranian regime would have us believe that its the innocent party in these circumstances. It continues to deny that it harbors any intentions to eradicate the Bahai community, while employing all possible means to slander and denigrate the memories of its victims.

And do they really apply to all people? These are the question the newest animated Video clip in the WissensWerte series deals with. WissensWerte is a project of the german non-profit organisation /e-politik.de/ e.V. (http://www.e-politik.de).
