The members of the Baháʼí Faith have been declared heretical and subversive. While persecution occurred before the Revolution since then more than 200 Baháʼís have been executed or presumed killed, and many more have been imprisoned, deprived of jobs, pensions, businesses, and educational opportunities. Baháʼí holy places have been confiscated, vandalized, or destroyed. More recently, Baháʼís in homeland have been deprived of education and work. Several thousand young Baháʼís between the ages of 17 and 24 have been expelled from universities.
