Thanks to Stuart Williams for highlighting government destruction of #Bahai graves in #Iran. Heartbreaking for families. Persecution from cradle to grave and beyond for #Bahais

We are gravely concerned by reports that poet and English PEN Honorary Member Mahvash Sabet is likely to be returned to Evin Prison following major surgery. We continue to call on the Iranian authorities to #FreeMahvash unconditionally.
