UN Highlights Persecution of Baha'is in Iran as Human Rights Issue
Imagine a group of people called Baha'is who live in Iran.
They are facing problems because of their beliefs.
The United Nations, a big group of countries working together, has said that Iran is treating the Baha'is unfairly.
The UN says the Baha'is are being arrested, put in jail, and can't go to school or work like everyone else.
The UN thinks Iran is doing this because of the Baha'is' religious beliefs.
The UN wants the world to know that Iran should stop doing this and let the Baha'is live freely.
The UN Secretary-General has highlighted the persecution of Baha'is in Iran.
