Religious freedoms violated} Flora Teckie
THE United Nations HumanRights Council voted on 22March, by an overwhelmingmargin, for a continuinginvestigation into human rightsviolations in Iran.Reports by Ban Ki-moon, the
UN secretary general, and theSpecial Rapporteur on ReligiousIntolerance outlined “that 110Baha’is are currently detainedin Iran for exercising theirfaith; that at least 13 ProtestantChristians are currently indetention centres across Iran;and that Dervishes, members ofthe Yarasen faith, and SunniMuslims continue to be thesubject of punitive activities,raising serious concerns aboutthe situation of religiousminorities in Iran.
Amongst those imprisoned fortheir religion are seven Bahá’íswho were the members of acoordinating body, which saw tothe minimum needs of Iran’s300 000 Baha’is (after the electedgoverning bodies of their Faithwere banned by Iraniangovernment decree in 1983).The seven Baha’i leaders were
sentenced to 20 years’ imprison-ment which the internationalcommunity has called baseless.UK Amnesty International has
called on the Iranian authorities“to release the seven immediate-ly and unconditionally, as itconsiders them to be prisonersof conscience, held solely onaccount of their beliefs orpeaceful activities on behalf ofthe Bahá’í community.”The Canadian House of
Commons unanimously adopted
a strongly worded motioncondemning the persecution ofBahá’ís in Iran and calling onthe Iranian government torelease the seven leaders.The approach of the fifth
anniversary of the imprison-ment of these seven Bahá’ís isbeing used by the Bahá’ís allover the world, as well asinternational human rightsactivists to bring attention tothe plight of Iranian Bahá’ís.The members of the Baha’i
community in Iran – of all agesand walks of life – are subjectedto many forms of ill-treatmentand abuse, including interroga-tions, summary arrests andimprisonment, deprivation ofthe means to a livelihood,destruction of property, and thedenial of education to Baha’istudents.
Many Bahá’ís in various partsof Iran, were made to witnessthe burning of their homes,farms, and places of work, andeven the desecration of thegraves of their loved ones.Yet, all pleas for redress
remain unheard by the authori-ties.South Africa marked 27 April
as Freedom Day. As ourcountry commemorated thisspecial day, let us rememberthose whose human rights arestill being violated by oppres-sive regimes.The charges against the seven
clearly stem from their religiousbeliefs and activities – andfreedom of religion is to beprotected according to nume-rous international covenantsand treaties, most of which Iranitself is party to.
South Africa Bahá’ís, likethose in other parts of theworld, are groups of people whobelieve in unity of humanityand try to live in peace withpeople of all backgrounds.Bahá’ís, in whatever country
they reside, strive to promotethe welfare of society.They are enjoined to work
alongside their compatriots infostering fellowship and unityand in establishing peace andjustice.They shun conflict and
dissension.As prescribed in their
teachings, they try to achieve ahigh sense of moral rectitude intheir activities, chastity in theirindividual lives, and completefreedom from prejudice in theirdealings with people of everyrace, class, religion or creed.

NAKA DROTSKÉ,the Toyota Chee-tahs coach, said hewas happy with theperformance of hischarges against aquality Kings sideon Saturday.The Cheetahs
emerged the victorswith 26-12 afterleading 15-9 at thebreak in a toughmatch played infront of a goodcrowd at the FreeState Stadium inBloemfontein.“We showed the
Southern Kings alot of respect theydeserve. They are aquality side andhave done verywell so far thisseason. They arevery good indefence. We crossedthe tryline threetimes, but we justcouldn’t grind theball. That showshow tight they areat the back,”Drotské toldreporters. “Overallwe played prettywell tonight(Saturday). I’mvery happy withthe result.“It has been a
long eleven weeksfor us. Some of theteams have alreadyhad two byes andwe will only behaving our firstbye after tenmatches. In thebeginning of theseason I thought afirst bye in weekeleven was a bignegative for us, butit has come just atthe right time,” hesaid.“We have been
lucky with injuriesso far. However, wepicked up twominor injuriesagainst the Kings.So the bye weekwill be just perfectfor us. We don’thave the luxury ofa rotation policy. Itwas the sameplayers week inand week out forten weeks,” Drotskésaid.Despite a win,
Drotské wasdisappointed at hisside’s failure tosecure a bonuspoint.“I’m disappoint-
ed. We needed toget a bonus pointbecause it is goingto be crucial in theend. If we had abonus point, wewould have beenthe conferenceleaders. But we arenot going to begreedy for points.We could have lostagainst the Sharksand Stormers, butwe won bothmatches at thedeath,” he said.Drotské was also
not happy with thediscipline of hisplayers duringSaturday’s game.“Our biggest
problem wasdiscipline. We got apenalty count of 13to five penalties.We couldn’t getinto the game.“Every time we
got a little bit ofcontinuity andmomentum weconceded a penalty.If you concede 13penalties againstfive and you stillscore three tries tonil, then it is agood performancefor the team.“I thought we
were very gooddefensively,especially atstopping the tries.“On attack we
made too manymistakes. Again,you can say it isbad luck. Like I’vesaid, we managedto cross the linethree times, but we
just couldn’t scorethe bonus-pointtry.”The Cheetahs
now have a byeand the playershave been granteda week off. Theywill return to workon Monday toprepare for theirnext fixture againstthe Hurricanes onFriday, 10 May, at19:10.Asked what they
would be doing thisweek, Drotskéjoked: “We aregoing to be fishingand hunting.”After the slow
start to theirseason, losing tothe Sharks (22-29)and Chiefs (3-45) –Drotské said theywere under a lot ofpressure.“Those two losses
were a wake-up callto us. We managedto win the nextgame after that andsuddenly the teamwas back on track.” NAKA DROTSKÉ, Cheetah coach. Photo: Sidwell Guduka
