The 17 year-old Mona was executed by the Islamic Republic because she did not renounce Bahaism

Religious minorities have been victims of human rights violations in Iran. Bahaism is not even recognized as a religion by the Islamic Republic and the government has continued to pursue a deliberate campaign to promote, sponsor and commit crimes against Iranians who profess Bahaism as their faith. Armenians have also suffered varying degrees of officially sanctioned discrimination, mainly in the areas of employment and education, based solely on the belief in Islam's superiority to other religions. The Armenian-owned Coca-Cola company, for example, was confiscated by the government and all Armenian workers at production levels were fired, with a few remaining Armenians in the company being limited to work at clerical levels. This was mainly due to the Islamic belief that non-Moslems are "unclean" and should therefore not come into direct contact with any product that a Moslem may consume.

Widespread discrimination against the non-Moslems has also continued in the area of education where the government has required all student applicants to pass certain exams in Islamic theology in order to gain admission to institutions of higher education and universities. There are also various "character exams" that grade a student's commitment to the Islamic values of the revolution and the government and which are basically designed to deny non-Moslems equal access to the educational facilities in the country.
