Earlier this week at the @UN Universal Periodic Review of #Egypt, the Egyptian delegation said that “values of human dignity, justice, equality, non-discrimination and tolerance have become essential pillars of all national plans, programs, and strategies,” yet, the Baha’i community in Egypt continues to be the subject of state-sponsored persecution. This @dw_arabic report highlights how a Baha’i family was denied birth certificates for their children over 20 years ago, blocking access to education, and that struggle continues for Baha’i parents today. This reality contrasts the Egyptian delegation’s claim that: “all births of Egyptians and non Egyptians are registered without discrimination in accordance with the constitution and law.” #EgyptianBahaiRights #حقوق_المصريين_البهائيين #HumanRights
