A big hello to all the expat in Iran! If you're just browsing these forums, do take a moment to drop a post. We'd like to know more about the expat community, where to eat and where's the best place to hang out in Iran. My hope is that soon we could start an expat group...perhaps with regular meetups.

Cheers!

More On The Iranian Baha'is

The story goes on and, I think, it is of particular interest to Iranian expatriates. Thanking you for letting me post here at your site. Many Iranian sites ban my posts, won't let me log in and in various ways keep the expressions of interest by Baha'is on the internet restricted. So, three cheers for this "Allo 'Expat Iran" site.

The following post was passed on to me by a friend in Michigan. It is a Baha'i World News Service(BWNS) item. It will keep the story in this thread up-to-date. -Ron Price, Tasmania

IRANIAN BAHA'I STUDENTS SHUT OUT OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
_____________________________________________________________
NEW YORK, 31 July 2007 (BWNS) -- Iranian Baha'is seeking to enter Iran's technical and vocational institutes have been effectively barred from admission for the coming academic year. The application to sit for the entrance examinations at these institutes leaves them with no option but to deny their faith. Baha'is refuse to be coerced into denying their faith.

The Baha'i International Community learned recently that the 2007 form for the entrance examination for undergraduate courses in the technical and vocational education system indicates that only one box may be marked for religion. The applicant is given three choices: Zoroastrian, Jewish or Christian--and if none of the boxes is marked, the form explains, the applicant will be considered Muslim. This is unacceptable to Baha'is.

"Under this system, Baha'is cannot fill out the application without a de facto denial of their faith. This is against their religious principles," said Bani Dugal, the Baha'i International Community's principal representative to the United Nations. "Accordingly, Iranian Baha'is will not be able to take this entrance examination, and so they are effectively blocked this year from obtaining technical and vocational education in Iran."

"Such a denial of access to education violates the internationally established right to education, to which the government of Iran has agreed, and reflects yet another facet of Iran's continuing persecution of the Baha'i community of Iran," said Ms. Dugal.

The Baha'i International Community decries the government's actions not only against Baha'i students - who are deprived of higher education solely for their religious beliefs - but also against any other Iranian students who are being denied access to higher education on clearly insupportable grounds, such as for giving voice to beliefs or opinions that are not officially endorsed, Ms. Dugal said.

Last autumn, after more than 25 years during which Iranian Baha'is have been banned from attending public and private universities, several hundred Baha'i students were admitted to various educational institutions around the country. This came about after the government stated its position that the reference to religion on entrance examination papers to nonspecialized universities and colleges would not identify university applicants by their religion. These applications would only give the religious studies subject on which they had been examined. This clarification was accepted by the Universal House of Justice, the international governing body of the Baha'i Faith.

The acceptance of Baha'i students at Iranian universities has, however, been short-lived, Ms. Dugal said. According to the latest figures from Iran, of the Baha'i students who took the national entrance examination last year, ultimately some 200 were admitted and enrolled. Over the course of the school year, however, over half that number - at most recent count, at least 128 - have been expelled as school officials discovered they were Baha'is. This has led observers to conclude that Iran's statements last year were nothing more than a ruse intended to quell international protest over the denial to Baha'i students of access to higher education.

"This latest news about the registration form for technical and vocational education only serves to further confirm that Iran continues to play games with Baha'i students in their country, and that its promises of access to higher education for them are hollow," said Ms. Dugal.

Baha'is Getting Plastered: Yet Again

RonPrice — Fri Mar 02, 2007 8:48 am

Author: RonPrice

Posted: Fri Mar 02, 2007 8:48 am

I am a western Baha'i with many Iranian friends, expatriates and other. I have always found it curious that Baha'is get such difficult treatment in Iran. In the west, in Canada, the USA and Australia where I have lived, the average person doesn't care a hoot what religion a person belongs to as long as the person goes about their business in a reasonable way. And so I find it curious when I read the following story in the last few days about Baha'i students at Iranian universities. If anyone can explain the treatment they get and that Baha'is have received for the last 100 plus years I would love to hear from you:
______________________________
IRANIAN BAHA'IS FACE CONTINUING DISCRIMINATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION

NEW YORK, 28 February 2007 (BWNS) -- A growing number of Baha'is admitted to Iranian universities this year have been expelled, powerful evidence that Baha'i students in Iran still face severe discrimination and limited access to higher education.

After more than 25 years during which Iranian Baha'is were outright banned from attending public and private universities in Iran, some 178 Baha'i students were admitted last fall to various schools around the country after the government changed its policies and removed religious identification from entrance examination papers.

As of mid-February, however, at least 70 students had been expelled after their universities became aware that they were Baha'is.

"The high percentage of expulsions - which are all explicitly connected to the students' identities as Baha'is - suggests at best that the government is turning a blind eye to discrimination in higher education, and, at worst, is merely playing a game with Baha'i students," said Diane Ala'i, the Baha'i International Community's representative to the United Nations in Geneva.

"While we are happy that for the first time since the early 1980s a significant number of Iranian Baha'i youth have been able to enter and attend the university of their choice, the government's long history of systematic persecution against Baha'is certainly calls into question the sincerity of the new policies," said Ms. Ala'i.

She noted, for example, that another 191 Baha'i students, having successfully passed national college entrance examinations last summer, were unable to enter university this year, either because of the limited number of places for the course of their choice or for other reasons unknown to them.

"International law provides that access to education is a basic human right, and Iranian universities have no excuse for denying students who have successfully passed their examinations the right to attend simply because they are Baha'is," added Ms. Ala'i.

"As long as any Baha'i is unjustly denied access to higher education, we can say that the years of systematic persecution and discrimination against Baha'i students has not yet ended, and we must call for this injustice to be rectified," she said.

The largest religious minority in Iran, Baha'is of all ages have faced systematic religious persecution since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. More than 200 Baha'is have been killed, hundreds have been imprisoned, and thousands have had property or businesses confiscated, been fired from jobs, and/or had pensions terminated.

According to a secret 1991 government memorandum, Baha'is "must be expelled from universities, either in the admission process or during the course of their studies, once it becomes known that they are Baha'is."

One of the chief means the government has used to enforce this policy was to require that everyone sitting for the national college entrance examination state their religion on the test registration forms. Test forms that listed "Baha'i," or that had no listing, were rejected.

In 2004, apparently in response to continued pressure from the international community, the Iranian government removed the data field for religious affiliation. About 1,000 Baha'i students successfully sat for the examination that year and hundreds passed, many with very high scores.

Later that same year, however, in an action that Baha'i International Community representatives characterize as a "ploy," exam results were sent back to Baha'is with the word "Muslim" written in, something that officials knew would be unacceptable to Baha'is, who as a matter of religious principle refuse to deny their beliefs.

Government officials argued that since the Baha'is had opted to take the set of questions on Islam in the religious studies section of the test, they should be listed as Muslims. Baha'is contested the action and were rebuffed; no Baha'i students entered university that year.

The same thing happened in 2005. Hundreds of Baha'i students took and passed the national examination, only to find that the government had listed them as Muslims. Baha'is again contested the action, but without successful redress, and no Baha'is matriculated in 2005.

Last summer, again acting on good faith, hundreds of Baha'is took the national examination. This time, as indicated in the figures above, hundreds have passed, and some 178 were accepted into universities.

Throughout the fall, reports came out of Iran indicating that many of those who had been accepted were being refused entry or expelled once the universities learned that they were Baha'is. As of February, the confirmed figure totaled 70 Baha'is expelled.

"Accounts we have received from those who have been expelled or denied registration at the university of their choice clearly indicate the issue is their Baha'i identity," said Ms. Ala'i.

"One student, for example, received a phone call from Payame Noor University on 18 October, asking whether he was a Baha'i. When he replied in the affirmative, he was told that he could not be enrolled.

"Later, after visiting the university, the student was told that the university had received a circular from the National Educational Measurement and Evaluation Organization, which oversees the university entrance examination process, stating that while it would not prevent the Baha'is from going through the enrolment process, once enrolled, they were to be expelled.

"Another Baha'i student at that same university was told that students who do not specify their religion on registration forms would be disqualified from continuing their education there," she said.

Ms. Ala'i also said that the Baha'i International Community has learned that all universities in Iran except one still include a space for religion on their own registration forms.

"This raises the grave concern that the 191 additional Baha'is who passed their examinations this year but were refused places may in fact be the subjects of discrimination," she said.

"We call on the international community to continue to monitor this situation closely," said Ms. Ala'i. "We would also ask for the continued efforts of educators and university administrators around the world who have participated in a campaign to protest the treatment of Baha'i students in Iran."

Hi! & British Television In Iran

Television Fan — Thu Jan 25, 2007 3:05 am

Author: Television Fan

Posted: Thu Jan 25, 2007 3:05 am

Hi All,

This is a considerable long shot, but please bear with me. Many years ago, when foreign television shows were shown on Iranian TV, several episodes of "Doctor Who" were bought. These episodes now no longer exist in the BBC archives, but there is a tiny chance that copies survive overseas, perhaps in Iran.

Is it possible that foreign film reels might have survived to this day? Do the television stations hold archives that contain film from before the revolution?

Does anybody here have connections with the media that may be able to shed some light on this?

Kind regards,
Television Fan

Hello

I'm a student of Gießen University in Germany looking for particapants for my study (diploma thesis).

As the focus of the study are German / Swiss / Austrian expats, the following introduction will be in German!

Thank you for your understanding!

Kind regards
Ellie Lazzaro

----------------------------------------

Sehr geehrte/r Auslandsentsandte/r,

im Rahmen meiner Diplomarbeit an der Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen möchte ich Sie um Ihre Unterstützung bitten.

In meiner Studie geht es um die Wirkung der Anpassung des Auslandsentsandten und der Familie auf die Gesundheit und die Arbeit.

Die Anpassung an das Gastland ist ein komplexer Prozess der einerseits von vielen Faktoren beeinflusst wird und andererseits viele Faktoren wie die Arbeit und die Gesundheit beeinflusst. Ein Verständnis dieser Prozesse kann nicht nur Auslandsentsandten selbst helfen, ihre Situation besser zu verstehen, sondern auch den Firmen aufzeigen, wie und in welchen Bereichen sie ihre Mitarbeiter unterstützen können. Deshalb ist die Einschätzung der Arbeit durch einen Arbeitskollegen oder den Vorgesetzten sehr wichtig. Da oft nicht nur ein Mitarbeiter ins Ausland entsendet wird, sondern eine ganze Familie, wurde auch der Lebenspartner in meine Studie integriert.

Um meine Studie durchführen zu können bin ich auf Ihre Mithilfe angewiesen.

Sie müssen lediglich einem Link zum Onlinefragebogen folgen, diesen ausfüllen und die Links zu weiteren Fragebogen an Ihren Lebenspartner und Arbeitskollegen oder Vorgesetzten weiterleiten.

Es ist absolut sichergestellt, dass alle Ihre Angaben vertraulich bleiben. Die Daten werden ohne Namen und Adresse ausgewertet. Die Untersuchung unterliegt allen Bestimmungen des Datenschutzes.

Kontaktieren Sie mich bitte über pm, das Forum oder meine Emailadresse, wenn Sie Interesse haben an meiner Studie teilzunehmen.
Gerne beantworte ich auch weitere Fragen zu meinem Projekt.

Ich möchte mich schon heute für Ihre Unterstützung bedanken

I don't understand why those countries still following order of Bush administration. This is a simple discrimination between few countries (which they think they can rule the world) and Iran. Why other countries can but Iran cannot? just my 2cent..
