In the wake of new evidence that Iran has lied about its intention to allow Bahá’í students into universities, the Universal House of Justice has sent a letter to Iranian Bahá’í youth encouraging them to respond with composure, perseverance, and a redoubled commitment to work towards the common good in Iran.
“With an illumined conscience, with a world-embracing vision, with no partisan political agenda, and with due regard for law and order, strive for the regeneration of your country. By your deeds and services, attract the hearts of those around you, even win the esteem of your avowed enemies,” wrote the Bahá’í international governing council in a letter dated 9 September 2007.
