What if YOU were denied higher education?
Baha´is in Iran are prohibited from going to college and are blocked from many professions. They have been subjected to systematic persecution, including arrests, torture, and execution simply for refusing to recant their beliefs. Join the NU Baha'i Club for a viewing and discussion of Education Under Fire, a 30 minute documentary about the Iranian government's violation of Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the right to higher education, and the Baha'i community's peaceful resistance through the underground Baha'i Institute for Higher Education.
