Thank you.
Thank you for being here today and for your tireless advocacy.
I wonder if either of you could comment in particular on the Bahá'ís and methods and tactics used by the regime in Tehran to co-opt the minority. I'll give you the example of the Kurds in Iraq, and the Kurds in Turkey, Syria, and Iran. One way that the regimes in those countries were able to subdue rebellion and opposition—it wasn't successful—was to bring them into the fold, to have them work in the bureaucracy within the president's office and in ministries, and to give them a high rank, politically speaking.
If this has happened in Iran, if efforts have been made to subdue potential opposition on the part of the Bahá'í minority through such tactics, I wonder if you could point to examples.
