"I read about the impending trial and all-too-likely execution of seven Bahais in Iran as I was reading about the outbreak of Babi/Bahai-killing in Iran a little over a century before. As I was wending my way through Mirza Yahya Dawlatabadi’s memoirs, Hayat-e Yahya, I came across a passage describing the mob violence let loose against these heretics in Yazd and Isfahan in 1903."
