The Baha'i Studies Listserv One of the most poignant stories that *Iran Press Watch* has published in recent times is by Kamal Yazdan-Panah, published under "Life for me was slow death!"
http://www.iranpresswatch.org/ In this brief autobiography, the author recounts and documents his struggle to live and earn a living in Iran faced with religious bigotry and persecution in the last 30 years. Time and again he demonstrates that despite his enormous experience and expertise in maintaining and installing electrical and mechanical systems, the forces of orthodoxy and intolerance frustrated his efforts to work and to provide for his young children. Nonetheless, he persevered and remained patient. This story is just one example of the indomitable spirit of the Baha'i community of Iran that no matter how relentless discriminations, persecutions and inequities arrayed against them, they will never give up the hope and will continue to pursue their objective of creating an enlightened and progressive-minded society firmly rooted in justice, equality and knowledge for all.
