"Iran has sentenced three members of the Bahai faith to four years in jail for security offences and 51 others to suspended prison terms.
They were convicted for propaganda against the system in the southern city of Shiraz, a judiciary spokesman said, without giving details.
The spokesman said the 51 suspended sentences were conditional on attending courses by state propaganda officials.
Bahaism is a branch of Islam viewed as heresy by Iran's religious authorities.
Iran's constitution recognises only Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism as legitimate religions."
This article shows that Iran is not a tolerant country when it comes to religion. With so few accpted religions, Iran may not be a good place to live for people who worship the many other religions of the world.
