The Baha'i religion, though founded in Iran in the 19th century, is officially outlawed by the Islamic Republic. Baha'i follow a prophet who comes after Muhammad (despite revering Muhammad as well) and thus followers can be sentenced to death for apostasy. An estimated 350,000 Baha'i live in Iran today, enduring all sorts of discriminatory laws. Baha'is are banned from holding government jobs and young Baha'is are denied admission to universities (applications require designating a religious affiliation, but "Baha'i" is not an acceptable response). Since 1979, more than 200 followers have been executed for their beliefs. In 1983, for instance, the Islamic revolutionary authorities in Shiraz hanged ten Baha'i women and teenage girls who refused to recant their faith and convert to Islam. In 2005, 66 Baha'is were arrested, some simply for participating in study circles. Baha'is regularly have their homes ransacked, community cemeteries are repeatedly desecrated, and holy pilgrimage sites - like the House of the Bab in Shiraz - have been destroyed.
