RAHANA – On April 24, a group of unidentified individuals completely leveled the Baha’i cemetery in Damavand, as the destruction of Baha’i cemeteries continues across Iran.
According to a RAHANA reporter, on April 24, a group of individuals illegally entered the Gilavand cemetery and desecrated the graves of the buried Baha’is. Armed with heavy construction machinery, the assailants then completely leveled the cemetery. There are no tombstones left undestroyed in the cemetery. Legal complaints filed with the authorities against the assailants have been to no avail.
The cemetery, which was the 3rd Baha’i cemetery in Damavand, was established in 2005 with the Intelligence Ministry’s permission. Prior to the construction of the cemetery, the lots on which the city’s 2 other cemeteries were located were illegally confiscated by the Intelligence Ministry.
