Description
Mahvash Sabet was an ordinary woman with an extraordinary sense of purpose. A former school principal in Iran, she dedicated her life to educating children until her career was stripped away simply because she belonged to the Baha'i Faith, a religion her own government refused to recognize. Rather than retreat into silence, she quietly continued serving her community, a decision that would eventually lead to her arrest, a twenty year prison sentence, and years inside one of Iran's most feared prisons. Her story matters today because it proves that religious persecution is not a chapter closed in history books. It is happening now, to real people, for the simple act of believing differently than their government demands.
