For example. the State does not legally recognize couples who are married in Bahai religious ceremonies and. therefore. individuals Joined together in this way may be persecuted and their children considered illegitimate. In addition. children of the Bahais do not have access to education. Members of the Bahai sect are easy targets for those who wish to harm them because the authorities will not arrest their assailants. Sadly. the Bahais are imprisoned within this system because legal emigration is not possible. Mr. President. the terrible religious persecution of the Bahai sect in Iran reminds us that the potential for genocide still exists.
