However Irans clergydominated government has executed at least 113 Bahai citizens in the past year. The House of Bab. the holiest religious shrine of the Bahqis. has been destroyed. Because their religion is not recognized in the Iranian constitution. Bahai children are not permitted to register for school. Since Bahai marriages are not considered legal by the Government of Iran. children born out of these marriages are branded as illegitimate. The regime of the Ayatollah Khomeini not only seeks to destroy the Bahais. but also prohibits them from emigrating from the country. Having spoken out frequently on this floor on the cause of human rights. I strongly support House Concurrent Resolution 378.
