Thank you, Mr. Marston. It's a pleasure to see you again. I'm sorry that it's necessary to be here to do this.
It's very difficult to get an accurate count of how many Bahá’ís there are in Iran, because clearly we don't have an administrative structure there. Just keeping track of people would be difficult. The number used by the UN is 300,000. I expect there are more than that, but I wouldn't want to estimate how many.
What we've seen is a steady increase in the level of violence and arrests.
I don't know, because I haven't had information for the past couple of weeks and so don't have the most recent look at what's been going on. I'll probably be able to answer that question a little better in a few weeks' time. I'm going to leave it at that.
Dr. Akhavan may have some insights.
